History

edit

Railway traffic started in Halmstad in 1877 when the railway towards Nässjö started traffic. [2] The railway along the coast was built slightly later.[4][5]

A basically new high-speed railway has been built along the coast after 1980.[4] It has an entirely new route north from Halmstad; the old one went through Gullbrandstorp.[5] The route south from Halmstad is same as the old route until Eldsberga.

The station building is from year 1886.[6]

There are plans to lengthen platforms, build pedestrian bridges (the middle platform is at present accessed over a level crossing) and rebuild tracks.[7]
