How many S-train lines are there in Copenhagen, and how often do they run?
Lines and frequency of the S-train.
Short answer
The S-train network in and around Copenhagen has 7 lines and is run by DSB. As of November 2026, trains run every 10 minutes from morning to evening on each line. Line F has a train every 5 minutes. You do not need a timetable for daytime trips: just go to the platform. Late in the evening and early in the morning departures are less frequent, so check the time before you leave.
Why
- 7 lines cover the capital area.
- A train every 10 minutes in the daytime.
- Line F runs every 5 minutes.
Details
Bikes travel free on the S-train, except that you may not get on or off with a bike at Nørreport on weekdays kl. 7–9 and 15.30–17.30.
Tip
Use the DSB line map to see which letter line stops at your station before you board.
What may differ
Track work can change departures, and DSB lists planned changes under Trafikinformation.
Common misconception
Many visitors think they need to look up a timetable before every S-train trip.
What actually happens
In the daytime a train comes every 10 minutes, so you can just go to the platform.
