The station is located on the S-train and main line network. It serves as an interchange station between the Køge radial (lines A and E), the Ring Line (line F), and trains on the Copenhagen–Ringsted Line (InterCity and regional train services).[4]
Copenhagen South station was originally opened under the name Ny Ellebjerg (Ny meaning "New") as an interchange station between the Køge Bugt Line and the Ring Line of the Copenhagen S-train system. Before the station opened on 6 January 2007,[5] there was an S-train station called Ellebjerg station a few hundred metres southwest of the current station, where the Køge Bugt Line passes over Ellebjergvej. That station is now closed.
New platforms were opened in 2013 for the high-speed Copenhagen–Ringsted Line, on which trains run via Køge North to Ringsted, in future at up to 250 km/h.[6]
The station's name was changed from Ny Ellebjerg to København Syd (Copenhagen South) on 10 December 2023, in connection with the station's development into a major transport hub.[2]
Copenhagen South station will be the southern terminus of the planned extension of the M4 line of the Copenhagen Metro, scheduled to open in 2024.[7]
Further main line platforms will be built around 2024 for trains going from Sweden and Copenhagen Airport by the Øresund Line to the high-speed Copenhagen-Ringsted Line (intended for the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link), or reverse.[8]
