Contents

The station is located on the Vendsyssel railway line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Hjørring station and Tolne station. 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 DSB to the local railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner. [9]
