Denmark - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services
Introduction
This list does not represent the service for any specific timetable period. However, the service pattern in Denmark does not vary much if at all between timetable periods. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
Obscure services
Lemvig – Lemvig Havn
(Vemb-Lemvig-Thyborøn Jernbane: Midtjyske Jernbaner) (1A2, not shown) DK1
The line into the main station continues as a steeply-graded branch to the harbour, with a reversal en route. Although there is no platform at the harbour, the train merely stopping at a location beyond which the track has been tarred over, boarding and alighting is permitted here. Services normally operate on Mondays to Fridays during July and early August, offering connections between VLTJ Vemb - Thyborøn rail services and an excursion vessel at the harbour.
The VLTJ website gives details of these “Bjergbanen” during their operating period.
Note: As the Struer Jernbaneklub's operating permit has expired, there will be no “Bjergbanen” services in 2012.
Other seasonal services over freight lines are to be found in Danske Veterantog each year.
Hundested – Hundested Havn
(Frederiksværkbanen: Lokalbanen A/S) (4A1, not shown) DK2
Some but not all Frederiksværkbanen train services continue approximately 0.5 km to the Havn station, connecting with an hourly vehicle passenger ferry to Rørvig. Neither the DSB nor Lokalbanen Journey Planners acknowledge this service but advise a walk or a connecting bus from Hundested. However, train details are on the Frederiksværkbanen [select "Køreplan"] or the Ferry Company's timetables. Note that there are seasonal variations
Fredericia avoiding line: Middelfart (Snoghøj) – Taulov
