History
The station was opened in 1866 as part of Randsfjorden Line between Drammen and Vikersund. The whole line to Randsfjord was opened to the public in 1868. The stretch from Drammen to Hokksund was electrified in 1929, and from Hokksund to Hønefoss in 1959. In 1971, the station became terminus of the branch line between Hokksund and Kongsberg. The first station building was built in 1864 by architect Henrik Bull. It burnt down in 1895. The second building, created by architect Paul Due, was finished in 1898.
