===Lemvig – Lemvig Havn===
(Vemb-Lemvig-Thyborøn Jernbane: Midtjyske Jernbaner) (ERA 14A3, not shown) DK17/1
The line into the main station continues as a steeply-graded branch to the harbour, with a reversal en route.
A tourist service with preserved railbuses has operated in the summer between the main station and a quayside platform.
The  [http://bjergbanen.dk BjergBanen website] is at present under construction. However, following the grant of money by Lemvig town council, it is hoped the line will operate in 2017.
'''Other seasonal services over freight lines''' are to be found in [http://www.veterantog.dk/uk/index.htm Danske Veterantog] each year.
===Hundested – Hundested Havn===
===Hundested – Hundested Havn===
(Frederiksværkbanen: Lokalbanen A/S) (ERA 15B5, not shown) DK17/2
(Frederiksværkbanen: Lokalbanen A/S) (ERA-E 41B5; ERA-R 15B5) DK24/1


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 [http://www.rejseplanen.dk/ Rejseplanen] journey planner does know about this service, but for some reason refuses to suggest it when connecting with the ferry and instead advises a walk from Hundested. The trains can, however, be found if you explicitly select "Hundested Havn st." as an endpoint (or even, perplexingly, "Hundested Havn (færge)"). 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.
[https://www.lokaltog.dk/ Lokaltog] services continue 700m to Hundested Havn station when connecting with the hourly ferry to and from Rørvig.

This line has been used by the “''Rundt om husene''” (round the houses) steam specials run by Nordsjællands Jernbaneklub, which do an anti-clockwise circuit starting and finishing in  København H, calling at  Østerport, Nørrebro and Flintholm. No dates of operation are available yet for 2017. See their [http://www.veterantoget.dk/arrangementer/rundt-om-husene-med-veterantoget.aspx Rundt om husene med Veterantoget] page for information.

The two platform main line runs through København/CPH Lufthavn station below ground level, with an avoiding line at ground level to the north of the station. From 4 January 2016 to 29 January 2017 the avoider was used, initially by all SJ XJ2000 or DSB Ystad [for Bornholm ferry] services due to congestion caused by the forced change of train on other services with the re-introduction of border control checks. SJ services eventually did call and use by January 2017 had reduced to just the towards København ex Ystad services.
===Køge Nord - Ølby===
51 (ERA-E 41C4; ERA-R 15B4) DK24/6


But note that the [https://www.skanetrafiken.se/granskontroller/ Oresund Border Controls] web page states that "from Sweden to Denmark there are no border or ID controls but if a train would be very late to Kastrup it can happen that we have to do first stop in Tårnby instead of at Kastrup. This means that you should can take a train back to Copenhagen Airport. We are working to minimize this happening". These trains would therefore run via the avoiding line but this situation will of course occur only by chance.
This grade separated connection between the high speed line to Ringsted and the Roskilde - Køge line came into use on 11 April 2023. It is used by trains between København and Næstved via Køge.

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)

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.

København S-Tog

[Leaflets] (ERA-E 41C4; ERA-R 15C1 - both not shown) DK24/7

There are numerous route splits on various lines, some of which are substantial. They are grouped together from north to south to assist travellers wanting to complete their track coverage:-

  • [Klampenborg] - Charlottenlund – Hellerup: The southbound line makes a large separate loop
  • [Hillerød] – Gentofte – Hellerup: The east- and westbound lines take separate routes
  • [Farum] – Ryparken – Svanemøllen: The line towards Farum is a diveunder
  • The east- and westbound lines from København H are separated by substantial turnback/stabling sidings
  • The line towards København H from Carlsberg dives under the Køge line
  • The lines from Valby towards Høje Taastrup and Frederikssund diverge from each other in a double flying junction. The line from Frederikssund towards København flies over the line from København to Høje Taastrup, with the Høje Taastrup to København line remaining outside this flyover.
  • Rødovre is an unusual split level station; the line towards Høje Taastrup at least 10 metres higher than the line in the opposite direction
  • The track towards Høje Taastrup from the penultimate station of Taastrup dives under an access line to a sizeable S-Tog Depot
  • On the Køge line the south- and northbound tracks at Hundige are separated by an S-Tog Depot
