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

Køge Nord Station

Copenhagen - Ringsted railway

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.[6][7] The high-speed line between Ny Ellebjerg and Ringsted is now completed,[8] but adjustments are needed at Ringsted station before trains can start running at 250 km/h.[9] S-trains and a limited regional service began using Køge Nord the day after its inauguration.[10] Intercity services started in December 2019.[11]

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.[12]
