Vrå railway station is a railway station serving the railway town of Vrå in Vendsyssel, Denmark.[1][2]

The station is located on the Vendsyssel Line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn, between Hjørring and Brønderslev. It opened in 1871.[7] The train services are currently operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[5]

History

The station opened in 1871 as the branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Vendsyssel Line opened on 16 August 1871.[7] 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.[8]

Today, the station is closed but continues as a halt.

In 2017, the regional rail services on the Vendsyssel Line were transferred from the national railway company DSB to the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.[9]

Architecture

The station building is designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe, head architect of the Danish State Railways.[6]

Operations

The train services are operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[5]

The direct InterCity service from the station to Copenhagen operated by the national railway company DSB ceased in 2019.[10]
