Kristiansand is the main rail city on Norway's southern coast and a key stop on the Sørlandet Line between Oslo and Stavanger. The city has one principal passenger train station, Kristiansand Station, served by Go-Ahead Nordic through its long-distance Sørtoget services. The station's location on a through route makes Kristiansand important for east-west rail travel across southern Norway.

Kristiansand Station handles reserved long-distance trains on the Oslo-Stavanger corridor and provides connections at junction stations such as Nelaug for Arendal.
