Taking the Train

Timetables and Boards

Before you board, you will need to check the departure board (afgangstavlen) and the timetable (køreplanen) to see if your train is on time or delayed.

Tickets and Travel Cards

Make sure you have your payment ready, whether it is a travel card (rejsekortet) or a return ticket (returbilletten). You can also check if the train is direct (direkte) to save time on your journey.

Finding Your Seat

Once on the platform, find your carriage (vognen) and your seat (sædet). When taking a longer trip, you might have to choose whether you prefer the window seat (vinduespladsen) or sitting by the aisle (mellemgangen).

Which carriage should we sit in?
Hvilken vogn skal vi sidde i?
Is that seat available?
Er det der sæde ledigt?

On Board

During the journey, have your tickets ready for the conductor (konduktøren). They can also help if you have questions about your journey or platform.
