Kristiansand is a railway station located in downtown Kristiansand in Vest-Agder, Norway located on Sørlandsbanen. The station is served by express trains to Oslo and regional trains to Stavanger. Kristiansand Station is a cul-de-sac station, requiring all trains to change direction at the station. The station is the terminus of the express train services from Oslo, and passengers travelling onwards westwards must change to regional trains.
[edit] History
The station was opened in 1895 as part of the now abandoned Setesdalsbanen from Kristiansand to Byglandsfjord. The station was the only station on the line to be built with bricks, due to local regulations after the city fire in 1892. Like all other stations on the line, the station was built by Paul Due.
