Where should the Sunday trip go - Odense Light Rail (2024)This time, the trip has been finalized both in terms of time and location. The proposal for this Sunday's trip is to Jelse, located in the southern part of Odense, near the E20 highway. Initially, the village was quite far from Odense. However, over time, Hjallelse has grown significantly and has become part of Odense. The Svendborg Line has a station in Hjallelse. Are there good connections to Odense and the towns along the Sønderborg route? The latest addition to the line is the Light Rail, which terminates at this location. The Light Rail runs through the city to Tup. The train on the Svendborg Line departs from Hjallelse Station in Odense. This line opened in the summer of 1876. Right now, the motorcycle is on holiday, as we’ve had the chance to observe the progress of the light rail outdoors. The Light Rail kindly allowed a camera to be installed in the windshield, as mounting it outside could risk the camera coming loose. So, it was decided to mount it inside, though the wires and felt in the window give some unusual colors. Ignoring that, you can see the whole trip to Tarup. Here it is. At Svendborgvej, the distances between stations are relatively short to central Odense at each stop. The train stops only briefly but long enough for passengers to get on or off. On the left is the residential area, while on the right is a large industrial zone stretching all the way to the highway and beyond. Here is Munk Pærevej; we cross it in the background, where you can see the light rail garage, workshop, station, train supervision, and more. Parking at Odense Syd is designed for those who prefer not to bring their cars into the city, and free parking is available. We then enter an area where construction is still ongoing—namely, the new Oh in Time hospital. It’s set to become a huge hospital. The stop, Hospital Syd, isn’t operational yet, so from here, nearly 900 meters north, there are educational institutions. The light rail runs beneath the building here, with additional structures to the right. The overhead line isn’t perfectly straight because the power supply might wear out around Sommersted, but with a slight change of direction, it can cover a larger area. There’s also transverse traffic on the track, as many people use bikes to get around. Now, the trip heads toward Cortex Park, which features student housing and a variety of commercial buildings that are gradually appearing. We’re now approaching a large commercial area with shops of all sizes. Dennes SPS Aleve crosses Odense. The light rail began passenger service on May 28, 2022, stretching from Hjallelse in the southeast to Tarup in the northwest—about 14 kilometers. The trip from Jelse to Tarup, with stops at each station, takes roughly 40 minutes. The train set is nearly 30 meters long, weighing approximately 40 tons, and can accommodate around 200 passengers, including 60 seats. On the left is the Rose Cross Tent. Rosengårdcentret is named after the rose garden near Ringvejen, which once had a farm and greenhouse. Next is Munkerisvej, also known as Ringvejen, which changes direction at its intersection and runs parallel to the Light Rail towards Nyborgvej. On the right is the Korslkk Package, named after a farm that used to be on the left side of the road. We then reach Nyborvej, which we follow west; here, a track branching allows continuation toward Volsmose without closing the current route. On the left is Østerbæks Vej, and on the right is Ejby Møllevej. Straight ahead, you see Odense Cathedral, also called Sankt Knuds Kirke. Coming from Middelfartvej, you can also see the church straight ahead. To the right is Frederiksgade, crossing Frederiksbroen—the first cast-iron bridge in Denmark. The building on the right is the Korshær Hostel. Then we pass Albanigade; the building further up is Odense Courthouse, and just beyond it is the Albani Breweries. We then reach Odense Å, with the Catholic Sankt Albane Church ahead—the city’s oldest church. Before the church, you can see the descent to the Beking Cellar, which extends all the way to Thomas Btris Skade. To the left is Odense Cathedral, and to the right is Vestre Gade. HC Andersenhaven is nearby, close to HC Andersen's House. Less than 20 years ago, this area was mainly parking lots; now, it’s filled with buildings. Next is Østre Stationsvej; on the left is Nørregade, and on the right is Odense Railway Station Center, which opened in 1995, replacing the old station from 1914 that had become too small. To the left is Kongens Have, and to the right is Musikhuset.By Provins TV - May 27, 2024.

Inauguration of Odense Light Rail (2022)Odense light rail was inaugurated on 28 May 2022, and the first train with passengers ran from the station called Parkering Odense Syd, which is located east of Hjallese. The Odense light rail was expected to open at the end of 2020, but the coronavirus and other longer-lasting issues were not in place. In contrast to the Aarhus light rail, the Odense light rail first waited for approval before announcing an opening date. And it must be said that it was a good solution, so that you did not end up with a cancellation at the last minute. In this film, we see clips from the opening day, information about the design, and a bit of history from Odense Sporveje. Today is May 28, 2022. I am at Hjallese Station, on my way to the Park & Ride facility south of Odense. I won a seat on Odense Letbane's first passenger train, which departs at 10:45 a.m. The trip is non-stop to Tarup, where the mayor and the Minister of Transport will board for the return trip. The first passenger light rail train left from the Odense Syd parking station, east of Hjallese. This station houses the light rail workshop, operated by Keolis, which also manages light rail in Odense and Aarhus. Odense light rail was scheduled to open at the end of 2020, but delays caused by the coronavirus and other long-term approvals pushed back the opening. Unlike Aarhus light rail, Odense waited for approval before announcing an opening date. This proved to be a good decision, preventing last-minute cancellations. At 10:20, the first light rail train in Odense arrived at the platform at the Park & Ride facility, ready to depart with passengers. - I recommend passengers stand up and hold onto the brackets and handrails until they get used to the train's rhythm. On the way to Tarup, I’ll share a little about the design of the new light rail. My name is Janik Frithioff, and I am a graphic designer at Odense Light Rail, where I have worked since 2017, contributing to station and train designs. We're here on train set number 01, named Brunneren. You can see it’s a very bright train with inviting colors, creating a cozy atmosphere, complemented by clear signage. This includes displays and signage along the train. The seats are made of cotton from Kvadrat in Ebeltoft, and the handrails are very visible, painted in subtle colors that won’t pollute the design. Several measures have been taken to make the train appear simple, inviting, and warm. The colors of Odense—sidewalks and buildings—are all warm tones, reflecting the city's palette. The color of our train represents Odense but is intentionally distinct from the cityscape. For blending in, darker colors are used, like the black overhead power poles, whereas the train's light color makes it stand out. We chose green for the emergency door opener—one of the few places in Denmark where this color is used to symbolize an emergency exit, aligning with requirements that emergency signs be green, even though German standards for train construction have red. We investigated and received approval to make it green, which indicates an emergency exit rather than a fire hazard. All communication in our trains and stations is in Danish and English. Our call center has a direct line to stations offering English translation. Signage and announcements are bilingual. The seats are soft and comfortable, unlike the hard seats found in metros or other transit modes. We prioritize quality to give citizens a better experience, even on short trips. We believe in providing high-class public transportation with comfortable seating, smooth rides, and an attractive visual environment. The trains also have large flex spaces for bicycles and strollers. Initially, these spaces were smaller, with a row of seats removed and replaced by foldable seats to increase capacity for bikes, wheelchairs, and prams. Then we arrived in Tarup Center, where many passengers were gathering for the first official train departure. Here, both the mayor and the Minister of Transport boarded for the return trip, with small inauguration ceremonies at each station, where ribbons were cut. At Albani Torv, many people waited for the first two trains arriving simultaneously. - It was fantastic. Lots of happy people. - Silent? - At least, there was only happiness. After that, the last ribbon was cut. And afterward, H.C. Andersen welcomed everyone to the City of Fairy Tales. In ancient fairy tales, the poet writes, "YES!" In millennia, they will come.By Kennys Film - May 28, 2022.
