History

An express train being tested in Randers in 1935.

Randers station was opened in 1862 with the opening of the Aarhus-Randers railway line from Aarhus to Randers. In 1869, Randers Station also became the southern terminus of the Randers-Aalborg railway line.

In 1876, Randers Station also became the western terminus of the new Randers-Ryomgård railway line. From 1951, all trains on the Randers-Hadsund railway line (opened in 1883) were continued from Hadsundbanegården station in the eastern part of the city via a connecting track along the harbour to Randers Station. The Randers-Hadsund Line was closed in 1969, while passenger traffic on the Randers-Ryomgård Line stopped in 1971, with freight service on the line continuing until 1993.

Architecture

The original station building was designed by an unknown architect in 1862, but has been substantially rebuilt since then. The building was last renovated in 2007.
