History

Moss Station was built based upon designs by architect, Peter Andreas Blix. The station was opened as part of the railway on 2 January 1879. In 1923, an agreement was made by which the restaurant was to be taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap (NSS) in 1924. However, private operation continued until 1 October 1941, when operations were taken over by Spisevognselskapet.[2] [3]

New station

A new station is being built 300 meters south of the current station, connected to the construction of a high-speed line. Construction started 2019 and was planned to be in operation 2025. The construction of the station and surrounding route is severely delayed due to problems with unstable ground.[4][5]
