Take the Aarhus light rail to Odder (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 second video, we look closer at the section to Odder. First, you see clips from a trip from Århus to Odder, and then clips from places along the route back towards Århus.By SJB Media 1996 - July 19, 2019.

Aarhus Light Rail is a Success (2020)Multimedia content from the Distrita family shows that the Aarhus light rail is a success. That represents the future of tram-trains. #AarhusLightrail is the future for Aarhus and the world. #Aarhusletbane is a significant success that promotes better climate conditions for #Aarhuspublictransport and its passengers. Tram-trains that can serve as both city trams and local trains simultaneously are what transit cities worldwide need. In this video, I aim to reveal and explain why. Hello, wonderful person. Now you can experience the world's most modern tram-train light rail network in Aarhus, Denmark. It is a public transportation network that connects Aarhus with neighboring villages and towns with reliable service. Let me guide you through Aarhus’s cutting-edge tram-train light rail system and explain why Aarhus is doing it right. One of the most frustrating aspects of visiting a new town without tram service is that bus-only cities and villages often have confusing bus routes, with maps that change frequently without notice. It’s also very easy for politicians and transportation decision-makers to alter routes as they see fit. When Aarhus in Denmark decided to introduce a tram-train system, I completely changed my opinion about this remarkable city. Everyone worldwide should recognize that this duo-tramway system is a superior alternative to traditional local trains. Smaller infrastructure can be much more cost-effective, flexible, and efficient. Tram-trains, such as those in Karlsruhe, Germany, or Den Haag in the Netherlands, or the new system in Oregon, Denmark, are perfect examples. They are among the most flexible and economical transit options a city or town can have. In Aarhus, Denmark, and the surrounding Jutland area, which has a population of approximately 256,000, traffic issues prompted the city to expand its network. The first section opened in 2017 and has been a remarkable success because these tram-trains operate in dual mode—they run at tramway speeds within the city center and local train speeds outside the city. In the city center, they follow tram rules, while outside, they operate like local trains, requiring passengers to change. Some stops outside the city center are signal-request only; if no one is at the platform, the tram-train doesn't stop. Once leaving the city, speeds double, and you hardly notice the difference from a traditional local train. The key feature is that all stations are accessible for strollers and wheelchair users—no stairs needed, making it accessible and convenient for everyone. This successful light rail system is an example other cities worldwide should follow. The entire network makes it easy for residents on the outskirts of Aarhus to get quickly to the city center or across town. The two-line light rail tramway network offers residents numerous options. As more people use it, the network has become a significant source of income, demonstrating its value. Overall, this project shows a commitment to protecting the environment and creating attractive cities. Share this video with anyone interested in political and urban planning topics, highlighting how tram-train light rail systems are cost-effective, costing about half of what a traditional local train system would.

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.

Dokk1 station (2025)You don't have to go very far from Aarhus Central Station before you find one of the beautiful pearls of the Jutland capital, namely Dokken or Dokk1 as it is called. Dokk1 is a large multi-storey building that, among other things, contains Scandinavia's largest library and opened in 2015 and also helped make Aarhus a joint European Capital of Culture in 2017 together with Cypriot Pafos🇨🇾 and now coming to the train traffic, Dokk1 is also part of Aarhus Light Rail when the station opened in December 2017 and it was precisely at Dokk1 that Denmark's first light rail was inaugurated, so in a way you can say that Dokk1 is also the country's oldest light rail station if you look at the operation, before Dokk1 was built, there was a step on the Grenaa Line at the same location called Europaplads which was in operation between 1979 and 2005 and here was Aarhus harbor where it was not very far to the ferry port where you could take the ferry to Samsø, Sjællands Odde, Norway, and Sweden, you can still take the ferry from Aarhus to Zealand, but out of the container port because something Dokk1 has also helped to do is move the industrial port out of the city where the old port has also been converted into the Aarhus Ø district, but can still take the ferry from the old area with the fast ferry Lilleøre to Samsø, Dokk1 is worth visiting and it is also easy because there are 5-6 departures between Aarhus H and Dokk1 in each direction 3/4 of the day (during rush hour up to 10 departures).By Mikkel på Zugfahrt - August 3, 2025.
