[[Stavanger Station]] opened in 1878 and is the terminus of both the [[Sørlandet Line]] and the [[Jæren Line]].

[[Sørlandsbanen|The Southern Railway]] goes from [[Oslo Central Station]] to [[Drammen Station|Drammen]], to [[Kristiansand Station]], to, finally, [[Stavanger Station]]. This route, {{convert|545|km|mi|abbr=off}} between Oslo and Stavanger, is scheduled over four times every day and takes around seven hours. The railway was constructed in several phases, the first section being opened in 1871 and the last not opened until 1944. While there was continual construction work from [[Oslo]] westward as far as Moi, the [[Jæren Line]], from [[Egersund]] to Stavanger in [[Western Norway]], was opened in 1878. Up to 1913 the name used on plans and for the completed sections was the Vestlandet Line (The West Country Line).

There are also local trains in [[Jæren]] with 19 stops on one line. The line opened as a {{convert|1,067|mm|ftin|abbr=off}} narrow gauge stand-alone line on 27 February 1878. The railway was extended from [[Egersund]] to [[Flekkefjord]] as the [[Flekkefjord Line]] in 1904. The [[Jæren Line]]'s only branch, the [[Ålgård]] Line from [[Ganddal]] to [[Ålgård]], opened in 1924. In 1944, the [[Sørlandet Line]] was extended to [[Sira, Norway|Sira]] on the [[Flekkefjord Line]], and the [[Jæren Line]] was integrated into the main railway network. Because of this, the line was converted to standard gauge.
