Location

Halmstad Central Station is located in Halmstad, Sweden, at the West Coast Line and the endpoints of the Halmstad-Nässjö Line and the Markaryd Line. The station is located around 700 metres (2,300 ft) from the traditional midpoint of the city. Regional and city buses stop nearby.

Trains

Fast trains and the regional express "Öresundståg" along the coast stop here. Regional trains also go towards Nässjö.

History

Railway traffic started in Halmstad in 1877 when the railway towards Nässjö started traffic. The railway along the coast was built slightly later.

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

The station building is from year 1886.

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