The station is located on the Vendsyssel Line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Sindal station and Kvissel station. The train services are operated by the Nordjyske Jernbaner railway company that runs frequent regional train services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[3]

History

The station opened in 1873 as a halt on the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line as the branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn opened on 16 August 1871. It was promoted to a station in 1879 when the station building designed by N.P.C. Holsøe was completed.[4][5]

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.[4][5]

The station was closed in 1972 but continued as a halt. The station building has been demolished.[5] 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.[6]
