Some (but not all) Frederiksværkbanen train services continue approximately 0.5 km to the Hundested Havn station, connecting with an hourly vehicle passenger ferry to Rørvig. The [https://www.rejseplanen.dk/webapp/index.html?language=en_EN Rejseplanen] journey planner contains this service but, for unknown reasons, never offers it when connecting with the ferry, and instead advises a walk from Hundested. The trains can, however, be found by explicitly selecting "Hundested Havn st." or "Hundested Havn (færge)" as the origin or destination. Train times can also be found on the [http://www.hundested-roervig.dk/web/node/1 ferry company's timetables]. Note that there are seasonal variations.

The main line runs through Københavns Lufthavn station, which is below ground level, but an avoiding line runs at ground level to the north of the station. This '''may''' be used by the [https://www.snalltaget.se/en/berlin Snälltåget] services listed below. It is more likely that westbound trains will use the avoiding line than eastbound trains because the latter would conflict with regular Øresund services at the flat junction at the west end of Københavns Lufthavn station. The junction at the east end is grade separated.<br />

* It was reported in August 2021 that D301 ran via the avoiding line.
This line was used by the “''Rundt om husene''” (round the houses) steam specials run by Nordsjællands Jernbaneklub, which made an anti-clockwise circuit starting and finishing in  København H, calling at  Østerport, Nørrebro and Flintholm. It is thought the train has not run since 2018 owing to (i) the junction at Vigerslev being closed for construction of the high speed line to Ringsted and (ii) removal of the freight line at Nordhavn for construction of a tunnel between the new Metro station and the S-bane station.
* It was reported in January 2023 that D305 ran via the avoiding line.
* It was reported in April 2023 that D300 ran via the avoiding line..


It was hoped to run the “''Rundt om husene''” train for the last time in 2020 as it will have to '''cease permanently by the first quarter of 2021''' owing to the installation of CBTC signalling on its route. However, no trains are shown on the [https://veterantoget.dk/det-sker/ Nordsjællands Veterantog] page.

It is used by the regional trains between København Airport (CPH) and Slagelse, not calling at København H. This service runs hourly, but with some gaps, on Monday - Friday. It is also used between Kalvebod and Vigerslev by the following trains

SX EN345 Stockholm C – 23:40 Malmö Central – Berlin Hbf (note that boarding is not allowed at København Airport)
SX EN346 Berlin Gesundbrunnen - 23:03 Hamburg Hbf - Stockholm C (note that boarding is not allowed at Odense)

and by the Snälltåget services listed in the next entry.

København Airport avoiding line: Tårnby – Hyllie (Peberholm)

(ERA-E 41C4; ERA-R 15C1) DK24/5

The main line runs through Københavns Lufthavn station, which is below ground level, but an avoiding line runs at ground level to the north of the station. This may be used by the Snälltåget services listed below. It is more likely that westbound trains will use the avoiding line than eastbound trains because the latter would conflict with regular Øresund services at the flat junction at the west end of Københavns Lufthavn station. The junction at the east end is grade separated.

  • It was reported in August 2021 that D301 ran via the avoiding line.
  • It was reported in January 2023 that D305 ran via the avoiding line.
