History

Skive station opened on 17 October 1864 to serve as a temporary terminus of the Viborg-Skive section of the Langå-Struer Line.[6] In 1865, the railway line was continued to Struer.[8]

In 1884, Skive station also became the southern terminus of the new Salling railway line from Skive to Glyngøre, which connected with the ferries to Nykøbing Mors on the island of Mors.[9] Due to the increasing traffic, Skive's first station became too small and had to be expanded. It was decided to build a new station, and Skive's second station was taken into use on September 28, 1888. Its station building was located a short distance east of Skive's first station. In 1924, the new West Salling railway line opened from Skive to Spøttrup.[10]

The original Skive station was a terminal station, and trains arriving there had to end their journeys (terminate) or reverse out of the station. In 1962, however, the station was moved to its present location, changed to a through station, and the current station building was built.[7] The third and current station building opened on 2 February 1962 and was designed by the Danish architect Ole Ejnar Bording.

The West Salling Line was closed in 1966.[4] Passenger traffic on the Salling Line stopped in 1971, with freight service on the line between Skive and Nykøbing Mors continuing until 1977 and between Skive and Glyngøre until 1979.[3]

Architecture

The original station building was designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe.[5] It was replaced by the second station building in 1888, and torn down at the start of the 20th century. The third and current station building was designed by the Danish architect Ole Ejnar Bonding.

Operations

The train services are operated by the railway companies Arriva and DSB. The station offers direct InterCity services to Copenhagen and Struer operated by DSB, and regional train services to Aarhus and Struer operated by Arriva.[1][2]
