History
The line past Paradis was built as part of the Jæren Line and opened in 1878. In 2004, after Viking Stadion was completed, Jåttå Station was built. However, it was only served by commuter trains in conjunction with football matches and concerts at the stadium. In 2006 the Norwegian National Rail Administration started rebuilding the track between Stavanger and Sandnes to double track. As part of that, Jåttå was closed and replaced by Jåttåvågen. Construction of the station took a year. In June 2007, the old track past the station was demolished and until November work was done on the western part of the station and the western part of the bridge. From 26 to 28 May 2008, the line past the station was closed while a new bridge was placed over Jåttåvågveien. Originally, the Jåttåvågen Station was intended to be taken into use when the double track from Stavanger to Sandnes opened in late 2009. However, in 2007 the city, Rogaland County MunicipalityRogaland county municipality
