History

[edit]

The station was opened in 1868 when it became the northern terminus of Randsfjorden Line. Two station buildings were finished in 1868, created by architect Henrik Bull. One of them burnt down the following year. With the completion of the Roa–Hønefoss Line, the line between Hønefoss and Randsfjord received less traffic.[1]

Passenger traffic to Randsfjord station was terminated on 26 May 1968. Since 1 January 1981 there has been no traffic on the line between Bergermoen and Randsfjord, with the tracks being removed in 1984.[1]
