History
The original station opened in 1872.[6] In 1899, Svendstrup Station also became the terminus of the new Aars–Nibe–Svendstrup railway line. From 1902, however, all trains on the Aars–Nibe–Svenstrup railway line were continued from Svenstrup to Aalborg station using the tracks of the Randers–Aalborg line.[8] The Aars–Nibe–Svenstrup line was extended to Hvalpsund in 1910. The Aalborg-Hvalpsund Line was closed in 1969.[6] Svendstrup station was closed in 1972 during a series of station closures in the 1970s.[6] However, it reopened in 2003 as a part of the new Aalborg Commuter Rail service.[7]
Operations
The train services at the station are currently operated by the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.[5] The station offers direct regional train services to Hobro, Skørping and Aalborg.[9]
