Halmstad Central Station is located in Halmstad, Sweden, at the West Coast Line and the endpoints of the Halmstad-Nässjö Line and the Markaryd Line. The station is located around 700 metres (2,300 ft) from the traditional midpoint of the city. Regional and city buses stop nearby.
Trains[edit]
Fast trains and the regional express "Öresundståg" along the coast stop here. Regional trains also go towards Nässjö.
History[edit]
Railway traffic started in Halmstad in 1877 when the railway towards Nässjö started traffic. [2] The railway along the coast was built slightly later.[4][5]
A basically new high-speed railway has been built along the coast after 1980.[4] It has an entirely new route north from Halmstad; the old one went through Gullbrandstorp.[5] The route south from Halmstad is same as the old route until Eldsberga.
The station building is from year 1886.[6]
There are plans to lengthen platforms, build pedestrian bridges (the middle platform is at present accessed over a level crossing) and rebuild tracks.[7]
