Skagen railway station

The station opened in 1890 to serve as terminus of the new narrow gauge railway line from Frederikshavn to Skagen. In 1924, the railway line was converted to standard gauge to avoid the need to transfer cargoes of fish in Frederikshavn. As a consequence of the conversion, the right-of-way through Skagen town as well as the layout of Skagen station was extensively changed. For a period, the Skagen tourist information centre was located in the station building, but in 2006 it moved to its current location by the Skagen Harbour. == Architecture ==

The original station building from 1890 was designed by architect Thomas Arboe. == Operations ==

Train services The train services are currently operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner (NJ) which run frequent local train services from Skagen station to Frederikshavn station with onward connections to the rest of Denmark. In a period during the 1990s there were direct InterCity connections between Copenhagen and Skagen, operated by DSB. Bus services In 2005, NJ replaced the bus connections between Skagen and Frederikshavn with more frequent train connections. Since then, there have only been bus connections from the station during the summer season, when Nordjyllands Trafikselskab's summer bus service connects Skagen with Blokhus. ==See also==
