The shuttle bus leaves the airport ten minutes before each train's scheduled departure.

[5] The station was originally named Raastad, and opened as part of the Vestfold Line on 7 December 1881.

Raastad was equipped with a wooden station building designed by Balthazar Lange, and cargo expedition.

In 1969–70 the passing loop was extended, but already on 15 September 1971 it was disabled, and subsequently removed, with the automation of the signaling.

However, as the construction of a new Vestfold Line was put on hold, an intermediate solution was found to reopen Råstad Station, and offer a shuttle bus to the airport.

On 16 May 2007, Vestfold County Municipality announced that they would forward the investment costs of 7 million kr for the new station, with a payback from the National Rail Administration by 2012.

[6] The station opened on 21 January 2008, and the new platform is located on the east side of the tracks.

[7] During the first year, 80,000 passengers used the station, sufficient to make the NOK 4.5 million used by NSB on the shuttle bus profitable.
