The Little South Line (Template:Lang-da) is a railway line on the Danish island of Zealand, formerly connecting the towns of Roskilde and Næstved by way of Køge.
History
The railway was built as part of the Zealand South Line (Template:Lang-da) which was inaugurated on 4 October 1870. After 1924, most trains used the Ringsted-Næstved Line instead of Lille Syd.
In 2012, it was decided to electrify the section between Køge and Næstved.[1] The works were completed in March 2019.[2]
Since December 2020, the northern part of the Little South Line, between Køge and Roskilde, has been served by an extension of Østbanen.[3][4] In April 2023, DSB started operating regional trains on the Næstved–Køge–Copenhagen route via the high speed Copenhagen–Køge Nord Line.[5]
