Stations and trains

At six stations it will be possible to change to S-trains: Lyngby, Buddinge, Herlev, Glostrup, Vallensbæk and Ishøj.

The Greater Copenhagen Light Rail will have 29 stations over 28 kilometres. The stations will be established in partnership between the Danish State, the Capital Region and the 11 municipalities behind the Greater Copenhagen Light Rail system.

Siemens and Aarsleff Rail will provide the new trains for the light rail. The trains will be of the mark Avenio, which are the trains also used in The Hague and Munich.

The new Greater Copenhagen Light Rail trains will be approximately 2.65 metres in breadth, 3.5 metres high and 37 metres long. They will be powered via a catenary line and the trains will mostly run on their own fixed track. At crossroads and a few other places they will mingle with other traffic. A light rail train can make sharper turns, brake faster and handle steeper inclines than an ordinary train. This makes them the best option in urban areas.

One light rail train seats ca. 260 passengers, which corresponds to the number of passengers in four urban buses.

Each train will have at least one flexi area with space for wheelchairs, prams and also bicycles. How future passengers can use these areas will be deciced by the owners of the project.
