Aarhus Light Rail's least visited station (2025)Welcome to Assedrup, the least visited station of the Aarhus Light Rail. The system has 48 stations along a 110 km stretch. It includes new segments built between 2016 and 2018, as well as older sections of the Odder Line and the Greno Line. This is the Odder Line, and we are actually at the station before Odder, which is Assedrup station. The station has been part of the Odder Line since its opening in 1884. It was closed in 2016 during the conversion to light rail and reopened on April 25, 2018. The light rail is the third form of rail transit in Aarhus—first horse-drawn carriages in 1884, then electric trams in 1904, and now the Aarhus Light Rail. By the late 20th century, the increasing car traffic in Aarhus had created a need for high-capacity public transportation. Urban development projects, such as Skjøy Hospital and Lisbjerg, also contributed to this growth. In 2000, the municipality started working on bus lanes, and in 2007, a joint commission was established to develop the light rail system. The plan was to connect the Odderbanen and Grenobanen via a light rail track through Aarhus. The light rail was initially scheduled to open in September 2017, but a delay in obtaining safety approvals pushed back the opening. The section between Aarhus H and the University Hospital didn't open until December 21, 2017. On August 25, 2018, the section to Odder and Lisbjergskolen opened. The Gren and Lysstrup section finally opened on April 30, 2019. Assedrup was previously a station on the Odderbanen before the line was converted to light rail, and it reopened as a light rail station on August 25, 2018. The Aarhus light rail faced numerous issues when it was scheduled to open in 2018. First, not many people in Aarhus initially wanted a light rail. Second, the entire city was disrupted by roadworks and track construction across the streets, causing fatigue among residents. Third, when the light rail was supposed to open, it was delayed by a whole year due to safety approval issues. In short, the Aarhus light rail was challenging during construction, but once it opened, it attracted far more passengers than expected. During its first week, riding the light rail was free of charge. Asserdrup Station recorded 3,641 passengers in 2024. While these are among the smaller stations in Denmark, they are not the smallest, but definitely not among the largest.By AnViFox - May 20, 2025.

Aarhus LRT - Control Maintenance Center (2018)A key element of the Aarhus light rail project, the CMC (Control Mainenance Center) built "turnkey" by GCF - Generale Costruzioni Ferroviarie. Covering an area of approximately 5,200 m2 connected by a dedicated track to Aarhus Central Station, the CMC houses the Network Control Centre's management and metropolitan traffic management offices, as well as the vehicle maintenance, washing and control workshops. Furthermore, irradiated by approximately 2,000 meters of ballasted track, GCF built the vehicle maneuvering and parking areas and the depot capable of housing 16 of the 26 trams and tram-trains supplied by Stadler under cover.

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.

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.
