Kvissel railway station is a railway station serving the village of Kvissel west of Frederikshavn in Vendsyssel, Denmark.[1][2]
The station is located on the Vendsyssel railway line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Tolne station and Frederikshavn station.[5] It opened in 1871.[4] The train services are operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services from the station to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[3]
History[]
The station opened in 1871 as a railway halt on the new Vendsyssel railway line as the section from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn opened on 15 August 1871.[4] It was promoted to a station in 1877, and the station building was constructed.[6]
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.[7]
The station was closed in 1982 but continued as a railway halt.[6] 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.[8]
Architecture[]
The station building from 1877 was designed by the Danish architect N.P.C. Holsøe.[6]
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.[3]
