Køge Nord (North) Station is an Intercity, regional and S-train station that opened on 1 June 2019 in Køge, Denmark.[1][2] The station and the new line to Ringsted constitute part of the Fehmarn Belt connection to Germany.[3] Crown Prince Frederik inaugurated the station on 31 May 2019.[4] It will facilitate changes between planned high-speed rail services and S-trains, as well as regional services.[5]
The platforms are built on each side of an eight-lane motorway, and are connected by a 225 metre pedestrian bridge.[6] The high speed railway between Ny Ellebjerg and Ringsted is now completed,[7] but adjustments are needed at Ringsted station before trains can start running at 250 km/h. S-trains and a limited regional service began using Køge Nord Station the day after its inauguaration. Intercity services will start in the course of 2019.[8]
