Køge North railway station

Køge North station (Danish: Køge Nord Station) is an Intercity, regional and S-train railway station that is located in the northern part of the city of Køge, Denmark.[1][2] It opened on 1 June 2019 and is located about 35 km southwest of Copenhagen.[3] The station and the Copenhagen–Ringsted Line constitute part of the Fehmarn Belt connection to Germany, and also the main line to western Denmark.[4] It will allow passengers to change trains between high-speed rail services and S-trains, as well as regional services.[5] Crown Prince Frederik inaugurated the station on 31 May 2019.[6]

The six platforms are built on each side of an eight-lane motorway (two S-train platforms to the east; the main line platforms to the west) and are connected by a 225-metre pedestrian bridge.[7][8] The high-speed line between Copenhagen South and Ringsted is completed,[9] but adjustments are needed at Ringsted station before trains can start running at 250 km/h.[10] S-trains and a limited regional service began using Køge Nord the day after its inauguration.[11] Intercity services started in December 2019.[12]

The station was chosen as a world selection for the 2020 edition of the Prix Versailles in the passenger stations category, and won the special prize exterior.[13]
