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 railway line to Aalborg and Frederikshavn were transferred from DSB to the local railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.
From June to November 2026, the station is being renovated with the passenger platforms being raised from to and the accessibility at the station being improved.
Architecture
The station building from 1876 was built to a design by the Danish railway architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.
Today, the historic and renovated station building functions as a civic and cultural centre of the village of Kvissel and hosts events throughout the year, such as art exhibitions and musical performances.
Train services The train services are currently operated by the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner (NJ) which operates in the North Jutland Region. NJ runs frequent regional train services from the station to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.
