[edit] History
Notodden Old Station was the first station to serve Notodden, and was taken into use when Tinnosbanen opened in 1909. When the extension line of Bratsbergbanen was opened in 1917 Notodden New Station was taken into use. After operations on Tinnosbanen were terminated in 1991, plans to move the station closer to town were made, and in 2004 the new public transport terminal was taken into use. This station is 800 meters closer to town than the old one, but the final stretch is not electrified like the rest of Bratsberg- and Tinnosbanen.
