Capacity

Banedanmark allocates capacity for railway undertakings on the Danish rail network. The capacity consists of train paths and access to depot and setup tracks. The timetable compiles the individual train paths as well as their connection with other train paths.

The deadline for application for capacity for the regular timetable is 8 months before the entry into force of the timetable. However, you can apply for train paths all year long, and Banedanmark will answer your application as soon as possible.

  • Cancellation less than 49 days before the planned train service operation: 50 % of the fee for one day of driving must be paid.
