How do I get notified about platform changes and delays on DSB trains?
Alerts for your own journey.
Short answer
The DSB app can send you alerts about your own trip. You must be logged in with a DSB Plus profile and turn on Opdateringer til din rejse under Profil, Indstillinger, Notifikationer. As of November 2026 the alerts cover your departure platform, transfers, changed times, platform changes and cancellations. They work for tickets tied to one departure, such as single tickets, seat reservations and Orange tickets.
Why
- Needs a DSB Plus login.
- Covers platform changes and cancellations.
- Works for tickets tied to one departure.
Details
Commuter and period cards and Pendler20 do not get these alerts unless you also buy a seat reservation.
Tip
You can also turn the alerts on from the confirmation page right after you buy a ticket in the app.
What may differ
English text is only shown when the operator of the trip has provided it; on Android the language follows the phone settings.
Common misconception
Many think you always have to watch the station screens to catch a platform change.
What actually happens
The DSB app sends a separate Sporændring alert straight to your phone.
