Fredrikshavn DSB – Göteborg BV {train ferry}

Limited freight only.

Helsingør DSB - Helsingborg BV {train ferry}

This route has not been used since the opening of the fixed link (see next item), and cannot be brought into use again without infrastructure work.

København DSB - Malmö BV

[E*] The Øresund fixed link, via a tunnel and a bridge, between Denmark and Sweden opened on 2 July 2000. Electrification and signalling standards are to Danish standards, with the change to Swedish systems at Lernacken, Sweden. Dual-frequency electric units and locomotives work passenger and freight trains. DSB operates trains between København and Ystad, connecting there with a ferry to the Danish island of Bornholm. Passengers to/from Bornholm can use DSB domestic tickets, but these are not valid for break of journey in Sweden. These trains to not call at Malmö, but reverse at Fosieby, the direct curve onto the Ystad line not yet having been built. A railway tunnel is being built under the centre of Malmö and when this opens (2009) part of the recently-opened line will no longer be used by regular passenger services.
