Randers railway station (Danish: Randers Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Randers in the East Jutland metropolitan area, Denmark.[1]
The station is located on the Aarhus-Aalborg Line from Aarhus to Aalborg, and opened in 1862. It offers direct InterCityLyn and InterCity services to Copenhagen and Aalborg. The train services are operated by DSB.
History[edit]
Randers station was opened in 1862 with the opening of the Aarhus-Randers railway line from Aarhus to Randers.[2] In 1869, Randers Station also became the southern terminus of the Randers-Aalborg railway line.[3][4]
In 1876, Randers Station also became the western terminus of the new Randers-Ryomgård railway line.[2] From 1951, all trains on the Randers-Hadsund railway line (opened in 1883) were continued from Hadsundbanegården station in the eastern part of the city via a connecting track along the harbour to Randers Station.[2][5] The Randers-Hadsund Line was closed in 1969, while passenger traffic on the Randers-Ryomgård Line stopped in 1971, with freight service on the line continuing until 1993.[2]
Architecture[edit]
The original station building was designed by an unknown architect in 1862.[4] It has been substantially rebuilt since then. The building was last renovated in 2007.
Operations[edit]
The train services are operated by DSB. The station offers direct InterCityLyn and InterCity services to Copenhagen and Aalborg.
