Stations at the Øresund line

Sund & Bælt owns three of the stations at the Øresund line: Tårnby Station and Copenhagen Airport, which is one of Denmark's busiest stations.

Ørestad Station

Ørestad Station is sited where the Øresund line crosses under Ørestads Boulevard. It is an open station with two side platforms, where passengers can change to the Metro. By & Havn owns Ørestad Station. Ørestad Station serves travellers to and from the urban development area, Ørestad, and has become a major commuter station.

Tårnby Station

Tårnby Station is located at the Tårnby Torv shopping centre on Englandsvej beneath the western end of the covering. The platform complex is 6 m below ground. It is constructed as a so-called island platform with tracks on each side. The platform is widest in the middle (approx. 15 m) and smallest at the ends. The platforms are 320 m long, of which the 300 m lie beneath the covering.

The station building rises 5 m above ground level and includes various service facilities, including stair and elevator access to the platforms. The building has a glass roof that provides daylight and height to the platform ceilings. The main entrance to the station is located on Englandsvej.

Copenhagen Airport Station

The station at Copenhagen Airport is one of Denmark's busiest stations. In order to connect the station's and the airport's functions together, Copenhagen Airport A/S has established a terminal above the station to ensure that passengers can transfer easily between train and plane.

The station is approx. 320 m long. The platforms are 6.5 m wide. At the central section of the station, the platform area extends to the four double travalators - rolling sidewalks - which bring passengers up and down between the train station and the station terminal. In the middle of the station, there are also stairs and elevators up to the terminal at street level. At each end of the station, stairs lead up to the apron.

From the station, the railway continues to the passenger line below ground in an arc north of the hangar area and emerges to the surface at the artificial peninsula. On the peninsula, it merges again with the freight line, and from here the railway for both passenger and freight trains runs on the same track down into the Øresund tunnel under Drogden.
