History

The Stavne–Leangen Line opened on 1 December 1957, and was originally only used for freight trains. Lerkendal Station opened on 1 December 1988, and originally was a terminus station.[1] The Trøndelag Commuter Rail service was introduced from 1 September 1993, and from the same date through trains were operated on the Stavne–Leangen Line, stopping at Lerkendal.[6] The station later received a shelter, designed by Linje Arkitekter and similar to other sheds on the commuter line.[7] From 7 January 2001, NSB made several major changes to the commuter rail. A fixed, hourly headway was introduced on the trains from Steinkjer to Trondheim; including extra rush-hour trains from Lerkendal to Stjørdal, giving 23 departures per day in each direction. South of Trondheim, the service was rerouted to terminate at Lerkendal.[8] The station lost most of its service after more trains were redirected to serve Lundamo and Melhus on the main line.[9]
