The station is located on the Vendsyssel railway line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Hjørring and Tolne stations. It opened in 1871.[6] The train services are currently operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services from the station to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[5]
History
The station opened in 1871 as the initial section from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line opened on 16 August 1871.[6][7]
On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the Vendsyssel line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of the Danish rail network.[8]
Today, the station is closed but continues as a halt.[7]
In 2017, operation of the regional rail services on the Vendsyssel Line to Aalborg and Frederikshavn were transferred from the national railway company DSB to the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner (NJ).[9]
Architecture
The station building from 1871 was built to designs by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.[7][10]
Train services
The train services are currently operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services from the station to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[5]
The direct InterCity service from the station to Copenhagen operated by the national railway company DSB ceased in 2019.[11]
