History
The first train station in Copenhagen was constructed using wood at around 1847, which served Roskildebanen. The second railway system that was designed by H.J Herholdt was opened in 1864. This station just like the first one proved to be too small as it only had one track connection that led to the outside of the city. The third station that was designed by Heinrich Wenck was completed in December 1911. This station was overhauled in 1980 leading to the establishment of lifts and escalators and the splitting of other concourse into freight, departure and arrival sections. The station was again overhauled between 2004 and 2008. This time overhauling saw the replacement of the roofs, the walls and towers of the station being reconditioned.
The Current Copenhagen Train Station
Currently, the Copenhagen Central Station is the largest train station in Copenhagen and the entire Denmark. The station is situated in fare 1. It has about 13 platforms, cafeterias, shops and fast food outlets are also available in and around it. This train station has entrances to Reventlowsgade, Bernstorrffsgade, which is at Tivoli Gardens, Banegardspladsen and Tietgensgade.
The train station is considered to be the busiest in Copenhagen even though Norreport Station has a high passengers output. The Copenhagen Central Station is served by the S-trains, regional trains and Intercity trains. The intercity trains involve international trains like the Oresund that offers services from and to Sweden. The current station has no connections to the Copenhagen metro but it is expected that it will be connected upon completion of the city circle line, which is to be opened by 2018.
The Copenhagen central station serves various destinations in Denmark and many of the Western Europe countries. The Copenhagen S-trains stop at the station with the exception of S-train F
