Farewell to the Hovmarken step board (2024)Since 1990, the Hovmarken platform has served passengers living in eastern Lystrup. However, on 30 June 2024, the platform will close due to numerous delays on the busy Grenaabane. In this video, we bid farewell to Hovmarken, marking the first station closure of 2024. Hopefully, there won't be any more. I am standing today on the Hovmarken platform that has been on the Grenå line for 34 years. Today is Friday, June 28th, and of course, many people are on summer vacation. At the same time, it is also the last weekday that Hovmarken is open. On the night of Sunday, June 30, 2024, the last train from Hovmarken departs, and the ticket booth closes thereafter. Over there, you will need to use bus line 18 or the light rail in Lystrup AO. The light rail on the Grenå line today is extremely busy, with a half-hour service between Aarhus Rygaard and Grenå on Saturdays. Additionally, there are hotel shuttles from Hovmarken on weekdays, resulting in a two-hour train journey between Aarhus and Horsted during the week. That’s why the Grenå line is crowded, even though passenger numbers are low, with about 45 passengers a day. The goal is to reduce train frequency to prevent delays, which can be significant, especially during high traffic periods. We're here at Hovmarken before it closes in a day and a half. Hovmarken opened in May 1990 as Lystrup Øst, but in September of the same year, it was renamed Hovmarken and has since been part of the Græ banen. DSB and Ø owned it between 1990 and 2016, until the line was rebuilt into the light rail. For the past five years, Hovmarken has been accepting electric trains, which makes things a bit more complicated for me. The last train from Hovmarken departs on Sunday, June 30th at 01:35, but it might not be the very last train that causes concern, because Hovmarken might reopen in the future. This depends on whether Lystrup develops further, particularly on the eastern side. If that happens, Hovmarken could reopen. Even though Hovmarken isn't the most well-known stop, most people recognize the Hovmarken platform I am standing on now. It connects Lystrup East with Lystrup Southeast, and near the southeast side, there’s an industrial area, making it easy for workers to commute. Otherwise, they’d need to go all the way to Lystrup station. I don't know if the bridge will stay after the footbridge is closed, but without the trees, you’d get a great view toward Aarhus. Hovmarken is the third stop on the former Aarhus Nærbane, which closed before the light rail began. The Elund and Parkvej footbridges on the high line were also closed, but Hovmarken is actually the first to close after the light rail began operation. The last departure from Hovmarken was scheduled for Sunday, June 30th at 01:35 toward Aarhus, but it has been canceled. The last train toward Aarhus will now depart on the same date at 00:02, and the last train leaving for Hovmarken will be at 00:09 on Sunday, June 30th, 2024, heading toward Grenå—just an hour and a half before closing. Now I need to walk about 25 minutes to Lystrup station from Hovmarken, which is what people will have to do in the future to access the light rail. Fortunately, they can also bike if they want. But now I've taken my last step at Hovmarken station. Maybe the line will reopen if Lystrup develops further. Thank you very much for watching. Remember to like this video, and I'll see you again soon.By Mikkel på Zugfahrt - June 29, 2024.

Visit to Aarhus Light Rail (2017)In December 2017, Århus Light Rail finally opened for passenger service. I went there on the 27th of December to take the light rail for a closer look. The film is a mix of clips filmed during the 4 hours I was in the city.By SJB Media 1996 - December 27, 2017.

With the light rail to Lisbjerg and Lystrup (2019)In the summer of 2019, SJB was in Jutland. Unlike in 2018, when a railway was visited, in 2019, a light rail, or rather a network, was visited. Midtraffik had advertised a one-day ticket for DKK 50 for the light rail, and this gave the opportunity to take a closer look at the first stage of the Aarhus light rail. In this first video out of 3, the section between Århus H and Lisbjergskolen/Lystrup is covered. The trip starts at Århus H and goes to Lisbjerg School, before going via Lisbjerg to Lystrup.

Aarhus Light Rail - The first TANGO has arrived (2016)On September 15, 2016, the first TANGO car from Stadtler arrived. The grand opening of the tramway in Aarhus, Denmark, is scheduled for May 2017. The public was invited to view the new facilities and trams before they began service. Visit the depot, where two types of trains will operate on the light rail. Here is the Variobahn, measuring 32.3 meters long with a top speed of 80 km/h. It will mainly run between Odder, Aarhus, and Lystrup. Made by Stadler in Berlin, it offers ample space and is well-suited for city driving, making it easier for passengers to board and disembark. The Driver's Compartment: A Quick Overview. There is one socket for every four seats. Space is available for bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs. A Dot Matrix Indicator, abbreviated as DMI, displays the next stop. LED lights above the doors indicate status, and tracks lead to and from the workshop. Another vehicle, the Tango, is 39.2 meters long with a top speed of 100 km/h. This model will operate between Aarhus and Grenaa. It has more seating for longer trips, with one socket per two seats. The driver's cabin is larger than that of the Variobahn. As we walk through the train, there is space for bicycles, strollers, and wheelchairs. Screens on each side help the driver see better. The DMI displays information, such as a green light above the exit doors and priority seating for seniors. Pressing the button extends boarding time. Both inside and outside, you can see the new control center, which manages the entire light rail system. The depot is where trains not in service are stored. The planned opening is May 2017.By SporvognDK - September 15, 2016.

The Århus tour 2023 part 2: A trip with the light rail in Århus towards Lystrup (2023)I'm back after nearly two weeks of summer vacation with a new "Video of the week," which is also a new "Århus tour 2023." This time, Erling and I are heading on a trip via Århus' light rail to a small, green, and beautiful town called Lystrup! Great content with a quiet (light rail) train video! - still wishing you a good day out there. Hello out there, and welcome to another one of my Alexandra's video diaries. Now it's finally time for us to reach May, and we've arrived at the last and most recent Copenhagen visit, which was back in May. Well, yes, we call it a Copenhagen visit, but it's actually time for the annual Aarhus trip. We're making some changes, and Erling is a big fan of the light rail in Aarhus, as well as the traffic jams. So, a lot of the day passed, and I think we should start by reviewing what happened on the first day. It's fun to think about. Yes, then we're on one of the Aarhus light rails heading toward Lystrup, seeing a bit of the city. Ah, a Friday evening on a busy prayer line two toward Lysstrup, which I remember from last year. This one is actually more comfortable to ride than the other one. It seemed a bit noisier the previous year. Yes, over on your side, there are ships and other things out by the water. Next stop, Nørreport. Yes, Nørreport in Aarhus is worth seeing, mainly since it's located so close to the street where the train runs. You can see all the cars lined up in Copenhagen, but not so much elsewhere. Oh yes, I saw SK alive at home on the internet. It was posted on Facebook. Yes, probably, I could imagine there are different groups, since it is. Then we turn the corner, many colored cars—yes. Is this where I can be cheeky and say that over here, they also have nets? Yes, next stop, Stockholm Dam, and we just changed seats. We found out that there are 17 stops on this trip, and we have about 13 left. We just had a nice chat with another passenger. It was enjoyable. I think it was that color bus we rode that day when we went out to her, where I was supposed to pick up the skirt from last year, Erling. That’s because it’s the Aarhus house, which is blue. Yes, yes, but then it’s very fitting that it was blue. We’ve taken it, though we didn’t go there this time. No, we didn’t. I actually think it was in Ejby, like the one that asked if it was just a little outside Aarhus. And McDonald's—yeah, that’s over on the other side. I don't care that they also have it here; just like how Netto is everywhere, McDonald’s probably is in most larger cities. Yes, every larger city worth its salt has a McDonald's or Netto. Well, next stop, Vandtårnet Ringvejen—that also tells me something. I think there was also a bus that stopped out there at one time. I also believe we have most of this light rail system to ourselves today; not many are on it, but that’s typical for evenings and holidays. It was nice because we got to sit and talk for a long time. I should have just stopped there, but we kept going into the countryside. You can see—yes, you can probably say they aren’t finished yet; they haven’t even started building. Well, nothing has really come yet, line two towards Lysstrup Trel. It could be Lysstrup, maybe a little out in the countryside. You can't say for sure, so we try both, all in the city and in Yde. Yes, yes, uh-huh, next stop is H. She just said the hop house. Oh, it's close to the cars. Goodness. That's one of the things I like about Aarhus — it's so close to green areas. It’s great to see as a tourist. Then, it's nice, it depends on whether this one drives back. Erling, it does? Yes. So, let me put it another way. It depends on how far apart they are, because if we have to wait an hour, then it's not that exciting. So, we'll check that out just before then. I, Sid, can say I have... You don't have me along the cycle paths. Then we can go home to the series again, EV to combine. Yes, yes, I can at least send something to you then. We’ll have to see Esbjerg Bygade. Well, then we're about to be at the end station, if it's called Lysbjerg Bygade now, LBJ. Sorry, Lisbjerg. We're at least closer to the station. I can hear Visbjerg here—press stop. So, we'll soon be at the last stop. I'll grab my gloves from my jacket pocket, then we'll head up the hills. We’ve really come to the countryside, Erling. But man, let’s say in relation to it, the trip to Odder so, uh, goes relatively quickly. How crazy that they’ve made a light rail all the way out here to Erling, I say. How crazy that they’ve made a light rail all the way out here to Å. There is also near the water out here, but it’s not... F væ i h? No, but you can say that in a way. Say, it has come now. It has come now. Yes, the trip to GR is the old FIR. Well, then they just made it up instead of... It's actually funny to think about. No, it's that new one there, just one more stop. Yes, that’s it. So, then we made it all the way to Lysstrup and Erling. He has just been out taking some pictures of the train before it starts.By Alexandra hansen - August 12, 2023.

On a trip with Aarhus Light Rail (2018)I was on a trip with LETBANEN from Odder to Lisbjerg School, where I filmed almost the entire trip and I decided during the trip that everything that was filmed should be used here for my YouTube channel, so a lot of it has been split up a bit at the same time with the fact that there have been more parts, i.e. more sieved of it, so this is part 3 / sieved 3 Part 5 / sifted 5, the first 4 are put together into one and split up a lot so that there are only 4, so the first 4 are grace you have not seen lead and number 5 is all the 4 put together into one and split very up so that it doesn't take too long!. And it has to be said that I try very hard to be a bit like Rasmus Brohave, so I also advertise himBy Mikkel Mathias - September 26, 2018.
