Notodden Station

Notodden Station (Norwegian: Notodden stasjon) also known as Notodden Public Transport Terminal (Notodden kollektivtransportterminal) is a railway station serving Notodden, Norway. Traditionally located on the Bratsberg Line, it has since 2008 been regarded as part of the Tinnoset Line. The station has only one track and one platform, and is served by hourly trains to Grenland by the Norwegian State Railways on contract with Vestviken Kollektivtrafikk.

History

Notodden Old Station was the first station to serve Notodden, and was taken into use when Tinnoset Line opened in 1909. When the extension line of the Bratsberg Line was opened in 1917 Notodden New Station was taken into use. After operations on the Tinnoset Line were terminated in 1991, plans to move the station closer to town were made, and in 2004 the new public transport terminal was taken into use. This station is 800 meters (2,600 ft) closer to town than the old one, but the final stretch is not electrified like the rest of Bratsberg- and Tinnoset Line.
