Location
edit
The station is located on the S-train and main line network. It serves as an interchange station between the Køge radial (lines A and E), the Ring Line (line F), and trains on the Copenhagen–Ringsted Line (InterCity and regional train services).[5]
History
edit
Copenhagen South station was originally opened under the name Ny Ellebjerg (Ny meaning "New") as an interchange station between the Køge Bugt Line and the Ring Line of the Copenhagen S-train system. Before the station opened on 6 January 2007,[6] there was an S-train station called Ellebjerg station a few hundred metres southwest of the current station, where the Køge Bugt Line passes over Ellebjergvej. That station is now closed.
New platforms were opened in 2013 for the high-speed Copenhagen–Ringsted Line, on which trains run via Køge North to Ringsted, in future at up to 250 km/h.[7]
The station's name was changed from Ny Ellebjerg to København Syd (Copenhagen South) on 10 December 2023, in connection with the station's development into a major transport hub.[3]
Copenhagen South station became the southern terminus of the M4 line of the Copenhagen Metro, when the extension opened on 22 June 2024.[8]
Future developments
editFurther main line platforms will be built around 2024 for trains going from Sweden and Copenhagen Airport by the Øresund Line to the high-speed Copenhagen-Ringsted Line (intended for the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link), or reverse.[9]
