A trip on the Odense Light Rail (2024)We have created a series where we drive around all stops. Currently, we are working on a series focusing on all S2 stops, and today we plan to visit all stops without the light rail. Our next stop is Parking Odense Syd, situated near the light rail workshop and offering ample parking spaces. As expected, the station also features a waiting room. Next, we will visit Hospital Syd, or is that really all there is? Our actual next stop is SDU Syd Hospital Nord, the first of the three light rail stops on the Odense campus. After that, we will head to Bilka, located near the Global Supermarket, then to IKEA, which is nearby. Our next stop is Rosengårdscentret, which is close by. Rosengårdscentret was the first light rail station, used to test signs and information boards. Then, we will go to Klynge, where an extension of the Light Rail down Ejbygade to Voldsmose is possible. The next stop is one of the narrowest sections on the Light Rail, where the platforms and tracks are narrower, and cycle paths have been completely removed. Moving on, we will visit Albanitorv, where the inauguration party was held just over two years ago. The next stop is Odense Banegård, which still features its old station building beside the current one. Then, we will stop at Vesterbro, where the Light Rail could potentially extend its tracks to Odense SU. Our next stop is Bøgersborg, which has one of the few track lanes. After that, we head to Idrætsparken, which has an extra track to accommodate additional trains during concerts and football matches. Finally, after 26 stops, we arrive at Tarup Center, the last stop on the Light Rail line. There are 16 Light Rail trains in total, each named individually, and two of them will be painted pink for a period of two months.By Elias Sode Karup - July 2, 2024.

Trams in Odense | New light rail system | Stadler Variobahn (2022)Odense, Denmark's third-largest city, introduced a new light rail system exactly three months ago. The Odense Letbane is the second light rail system built in Denmark in the 21st century, operated by Stadler Variobahn trams. This episode of Trams in Europe offers an overview of the Odense Letbane, including its history, fleet, lines, fun facts, and future, ending with footage. Timestamps: 00:00 Overview of the Odense Letbane 08:45 Footage of the Odense Letbane 09:42 Outro Hello and welcome to the second episode of the Trams in Europe series. Today, we are in Odense, Denmark's third-largest city, to explore its LED bar network. This is one of the newest light rail systems in the world, having opened on May 28, 2022, making it just three months old by the time this video is released. Or, actually, it could be exactly three months because May 28 is two months away from the current date. As with the previous video, which focused on Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city, this time we'll explore the history, fleet, and lines of the Odense network, concluding with some fun facts and plans. So, without further ado, let's get started. The Odense light rail is 14.5 kilometers long and currently stretches from Tørup Center to Dalum. This route is not very direct; it takes a semi-circular path around the city, serving the center along the way, as well as various amenities such as universities, hospitals, IKEA, shops, cinemas, and the central train station. There is also a second station served on the line. Currently, there are no line numbers; instead, the destinations are shown, such as Tørup Center, since there is only one line, and it hasn't been named. It just indicates the terminus, Tørup Center, on one end. Here's some brief information about the light rail in Odense: as you can see, it runs from Tørup Center to Dalum, with 24 stations, which is the main point. A fun fact about Odense's light rail is that it is operated by Stradler Variablen, the same fleet used in Aarhus and the London Tramway System. Each of the 16 standard rail lines in Odense has its own name. We rode on line 8, which is labeled L81—a tram called 'Adventure.' Each tram has a name, often with a poetic theme, and graphical links to the name. For example, 'Adventure' is one of these, and although translations can vary, the name tends to evoke a poem or story. In terms of network overview, the entire journey from one end to the other takes approximately 42 minutes, making it a relatively short line. It carries around 200 passengers daily and generates about 35,000 rides per weekday, with an annual ridership of approximately 10-11 million. Since the line is new, much of this data is forecasted. Here's a timeline of the Odense light rail network: it began in 2011, initially with plans for two intersecting lines forming a 'hat shape.' The first stage, connecting Yasi and Tørup, was built and completed. The second stage is planned for the future, which we'll discuss shortly. Before proceeding, let's review some of the terminology. One end is the Tørup Center, with the HLC terminus, visible as it prepares to turn around. The other end leads to Odense's main shopping center, with a terminus that uses switch tracks for pendulum-style trams, which have carriages on both sides. Different angles show the HLC terminus near a train station, and the other terminus near the shopping center. Here, you can also see the interior of the trams, which are slightly different from those used in nearby systems but share similar specs. They even come with cables for connecting additional devices, though they lack USB charging ports; instead, they have long connection points for other uses. You can also see the train station in the background, connecting to the light rail system. Now, back to the timeline. I've shown you some photos of the system, but that's roughly the overview.
