From 1902, however, all trains on the Aars–Nibe–Svenstrup railway line were continued from Svenstrup to Aalborg station using the tracks of the Randers–Aalborg line.[8] The Aars–Nibe–Svenstrup line was extended to Hvalpsund in 1910. The Aalborg-Hvalpsund Line was closed in 1969.[6] Svendstrup station was closed in 1972 during a series of station closures in the 1970s.[6] However, it reopened in 2003 as a part of the new Aalborg Commuter Rail service.[7]
Operations
The train services at the station are currently operated by the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.[5] The station offers direct regional train services to Hobro, Skørping and Aalborg.[9]
