Kvissel Station
The station is located on the Vendsyssel railway line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Tolne station and Frederikshavn station. It opened in 1871. The train services are operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services from the station to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.
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. It was promoted to a station in 1877, and the station building was constructed. 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.
When the station on the line was built in 1877, it brought economic growth to the village, and the railway line would become the major growth factor for Kvissel in the following years.
The station was closed in 1982 but continued as a railway halt. 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.
Architecture
The station building from 1877 was designed by the Danish architect N.P.C. Holsøe.
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.
