Langnes was established as a flag stop in 1928, when the Norwegian State Railways introduced flag stops at a large number of intersections along the Eastern Østfold Line in order to compete better with bus and truck services.[1]
Due to the short platform, the Norwegian National Rail Administration was required by the Norwegian Railway Authority to either upgrade the platforms or close the station by 2019. The Rail Administration evaluated that the station had limited patronage and little possibilities of future growth as there were no plans for development within the catchment area. They therefore decided to close it and three other stations on the line.[2] The closing took effect on 9 December 2012.[3]
