Are there security guards on S-trains in Copenhagen?

Safety staff and cameras on the S-train

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, security guards (tryghedsvagter) work on the S-trains in Copenhagen to help passengers feel safe, as of November 2026. You can reach them on the safety phone line, 7013 1311. Cameras cover all S-train stations, and a monitoring centre watches the stations almost around the clock. The centre can call the police in cases such as vandalism or robbery. Staff on DSB trains are trained in safety, fire fighting and first aid.

Details

The S-train runs all night on Friday and Saturday from 00:00 to 06:00, and staff gently wake passengers who fall asleep.

Tip

Save 7013 1311 in your phone before a late trip home, so you can reach the guards quickly.

What may differ

The number of guards and where they work can vary from night to night.

Common misconception
