Vennesla Station (Norwegian: Vennesla stasjon) is a railway station located at Vennesla, Norway on Sørlandsbanen. The station is served by express trains operated by Norges Statsbaner to Oslo and Kristiansand.

[edit] History

The station was opened in 1895 as part of Setesdalsbanen. In 1935 it became part of Sørlandsbanen when it was extended from Neslandsvatn Station to Kristiansand Station. Setesdalsbanen has since closed and has been converted to a heritage railway.
