Light rail train at the Control and Maintenance Center (2023)After a drive of almost 800 kilometers and a ferry trip from Germany, the first light rail train arrived in style on Thursday, August 24. Rolled off the truck and onto the rails at the light rail control and maintenance center. The light rail train has everything to itself for a while: 2 kilometers of rails, a waiting workshop, and a large light rail wash. But soon another 28 light rails will follow. See you at one of the 29 Greater Copenhagen Light Rail stations.By Hovedstadens Letbane - August 25, 2023.

Talgo, Light Rail and Copenhagen South in Snow (2025)On. 20 November, snow fell over Denmark, and like all other infrastructure, snow also fell on the railway tracks. It gave some great motifs, and especially on the Light Rail, where it is the first time the trains are running in snow. This video is a collection of clips from Glostrup, Glostrup Ejby, Copenhagen South and Køge North - In the video we see EB, Double Decker Trains, Talgo, Light Rail Trains, S-trains, IC4, IC3, IR4 and TS Logistiks.By Noahs Trains - November 25, 2025.

Ishøj St. from above (2023)Our contractor M.J. Eriksson A/S, which builds the light rail in Ishøj Municipality, is in full swing building the future light rail station at Ishøj Station. In the video, you can see how the island platform looks at the moment, and how the first concrete elements for the rails have already been laid from the station out onto Ishøj Stationsvej.By Hovedstadens Letbane - February 3, 2023.

Topping-out ceremony at the light rail control and maintenance center (2020)The light rail owners faced a bit of a test of cooperation when, on Tuesday, June 30, they jointly hoisted a wreath weighing a whopping 40 kilos at the light rail's upcoming control and maintenance center. The wreath was part of the traveling party that we could hold for the employees who are building the center, and not least a symbol that we have now reached another important milestone in the light rail construction. It is from the control and maintenance center that the overall operation of the light rail will be controlled when the light rail rolls out on its first trip in 2025.By Hovedstadens Letbane - July 6, 2020.

A trip down the ramp to Glostrup Station (2022)On its trip between Ishøj and Lundtofte, the light rail will stop at a total of six S-train stations, including Glostrup Station, which has required an extraordinary amount of construction work. From the bridge on Søndre Ringvej, the light rail train will be taken all the way down to the station via a long ramp, so that you can easily and quickly change between light rail, S-train and buses. As I said, it is no easy task to build a ramp of that caliber, but now the work is finally finished, and Per Aarsleff's drone operator, Per Hansen, has documented it in the most beautiful way. In the video you can e.g. see how Per Aarsleff has made the foundations for the future traffic flow masts, built the light rail alignment on the Ringvejsbroen and on the ramp, where shards have also been laid for the light rail's future tracks. And at the end of the ramp at Glostrup Station you can see that elements have also been built for the future light rail platforms.By Hovedstadens Letbane - October 24, 2022.

Tour of the light rail control and maintenance center (2019)The overall operation of the light rail system is managed from the light rail control and maintenance center. This is where the ongoing maintenance, cleaning and parking of the light rail trains take place when they are not in operation.
