Hey ... Thanks for this. I'll to turn it into an article as soon as possible. Thank you! PZFUN 03:54, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Just a nitpick, but yellow text on a white background is very hard to read. 85.76.152.179 05:56, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Anyone with knowledge about the overground stations on the way to Vanløse from Nørreport is encouraged to add information about their construction and what have we. I think they run on the ground as normal trains, and not on embankments as on Amager, but I'm not sure, and I haven't been able to find any pictures of or information about them. --Ghent 11:03, 28 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

To settle that "rail rapid transit rail system" bit, I think that it should be "rapid transit rail system" or "rail-based rapid transit system" because we're not transporting rails here. ;) My personal opinion is that "rapid transit rail system" is better because you go from generic to more specific terms - the logical way. Ghent 15:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't think any reader is going to be confused, thinking that the Metro transports "rails". "Rail" is an adjective describing what kind of rapid transit system it is - and distinguishes it from a "bus rapid transit" system. Adjectives precede the noun they describe: "large rapid transit system", "old rapid transit system", "rail rapid transit system" - not "rapid transit large system", "rapid transit old system", or "rapid transit rail system". The final test: a Google search of the term "rail rapid transit system" receives 46,600 hits, while "rapid transit rail system" gets only 15,900 - the former phrase is obviously more heavily used. Denvoran 16:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Okay, I'll bow to Google. But I maintain that it sounds stupid. I am very well aware of the fact that adjectives come before the noun they describe, but you can say a "rail system" and describe it with "rapid transit", which then would become the adjective. Ghent 18:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
It may sound stupid to those for whom English is not their mother language, but to my ear "rapid transit rail system" sounds awkward (I work in the public transport business and never hear it this way). I agree with your point, but is the article about a "rail system" (the German Federal Railways, the SNCF, Japan Railways, etc. are what would first come to mind as examples of "rail systems") or about a "rapid transit system" (the Paris Metro, the New York Subway, the London Underground come to mind). Though it is a "rail system", if you had to choose between the two, the Copenhagen Metro would be better classified as a "rapid transit system". Thus, "rapid transit system" becomes the noun which "rail" then describes. Denvoran 19:42, 19 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Fair argument. You have convinced me grammatically. Phonetically you haven't, however, because my boyfriend says that it sounds stupid too, and he's as British as it gets. :p Ghent 14:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
You imply that only the British speak English correctly, or better than any other English-speakers at least. Well, you (and your "boyfriend") are entitled to your opinion. Denvoran 20:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm wondering whether 40 km/h is the correct average speed. M1 is stated as 13,9 km and http://www.rejseplanen.dk/ gives a travel time of 24 minutes, which works out to 34.75 km/h. M2 is stated as 14,2 km and the travel time seems to be 25 minutes, which works out to 34(.08) km/h. I don't think the system average can be higher than the line averages?

GA reassessment

The article no longer meet GA criteria (most obviously for referencing) but I've edited it too much myself to carry out an individual reassessment. I've thus tagged the talk page accordingly. Schwede66 00:01, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Missing stations in infobox map?

Latest comment: 21 March 20112 comments2 people in discussion

Hi all! I am not an expert in Copenhagen Metro (have only taken it once), but I noticed apparently there are two missing stations, Ørestad and Femøren, on both branches. Please have a look :) – PeterCX&Talk 20:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing that out. It's now been fixed. Arsenikk (talk) 22:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Update

Latest comment: 9 September 20121 comment1 person in discussion

Much of this is obsolete. Work on the circle line tunnels have been going on for some time. The branch to Brønshøj has been abandoned. Another branch has been decided, though work has not started, so the politicians may yet change their minds. It will branch from Østerport and terminate at Nordhavn, with only two stations. --Klausok (talk) 07:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Update required regarding City Circle Line and branches

Latest comment: 28 September 20173 comments3 people in discussion

I second Klausok's comment; an update regarding Brønshøj and Nordhavn branches is needed, as well as other temporal updates, since it has been a while since it has been approved as a good article. I have made a few temporal updates just now, but there are still some things mentioned twice here and there, and in the first half there is only reference to M3 but not M4. I also think the Sydhavn proposal can be expanded upon. Perhaps all mention about City Circle Line should be cut short in this article and moved over to the CCL article exclusively? - that way only one article needs to be updated as construction proceeds and tons of news articles about upcoming scandals ;-) are added. Unless someone else takes the ball, I'll probably come back and do that.

Also worth checking out: updated map (including Nordhavn proposal and with Brønshøj removed) and timeline (in Danish), which I have added today as ref name "timeline" in section "Future". --Katana (talk) 01:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

The article gives two different years (2019 & 2020) for the opening of the City Circle Line. That needs sorting out, plus an up-to-date reference. Schwede66 10:21, 19 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
The history section is arranged by chronology, with old current metro (M1+M2) mixed confusingly with new Circle metro (M3+M4) stuff. I suggest separating by project rather than by time, as the two systems have little to do with eachother. Agree that Circle stuff should be mostly moved to Circle article, with little remaining. In 2020 we may consider a separate article for the old metro, and convert this one to an overview article. TGCP (talk) 11:18, 28 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Trains per hour and cars per hour

Latest comment: 26 November 20181 comment1 person in discussion

The article reads:

While a 6 train per hour (tph) service with 8-car trains, moves 48 cars per hour in each direction, Copenhagen Metro with 30 tph with 3 cars only, actually moves 90 cars per hour in each direction. So, in terms of capacity, the Copenhagen Metro is equivalent to a system with 8 cars and 12 tph (or a train every fifth minute).

I honestly having a hard time understanding what point this section is trying to get across. Can someone maybe clarify? --2001:700:300:2211:4472:F664:1599:9F4E (talk) 13:23, 26 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

GA request

This article has been tagged for a GA reassessment. There are a lot of citation needed tags added about the time the request was made. Can these be dealt with so the article can maintain its Good status. AIRcorn (talk) 00:21, 21 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

update sections

Latest comment: 18 November 20198 comments2 people in discussion

In particular, the Service section. There is a law-mandated new surcharge on the Metro: More metro costs a little bit more. CapnZapp (talk) 21:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Copenhagen uses a very complex fare zone system. It isn't as much a surchage, it is simply a price increase applying for all users of the metro / S-train / busses combined with a drastic cutdown on bus lines within the M3's coverage area, forcing people to use the metro instead of busses. Provided they don't switch to bikes instead. Valentinian T / C 14:20, 6 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Let us hope somebody updates the article to cover the new surcharge since it is directly linked to the Metro expansion, and belongs on this page. CapnZapp (talk) 22:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Also, just noticed the section above. The main issue with the article was that it was originally written more than 10 years ago when construction of the initial metro network (M1 and M2) had been controversial - this article was less influenced by this than its Danish couterpart - and plans for the M3 and notably any lines beyond that point were very sketchy due to political priorities and funding issues. There has been a ton of plans for extensions championed by the city of Copenhagen, the western suburbs, and various governments and opposition parties, but all lacking volunteers to pay for them. Also deadlines for the M3 were broken numerous times. The only certain thing is that the M3 opened in September 2019, it is rather certain that the first part of the M4 opens in early 2020 and the southern part of the M4 is under construction and is scheduled to open in the mid 2020s.

Are you sure you posted this in the correct section? Cheers CapnZapp (talk) 22:49, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I referred to the section above the "update sections" header. Since others have already decided on demoting the article, I consider that discussion closed, and it wouldn't be proper to add anything to it. Valentinian T / C 16:22, 15 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well, no point in dwelling on past mistakes. Why the article isn't in better shape isn't very relevant. In the interest of focusing on constructive improvement, I'll repeat my intended topic of discussion for this section. Thank you CapnZapp (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Template:Od As I said, the article needs updating. In particular, to cover the surcharge that's directly linked to the Metro expansion expense. Regards, CapnZapp (talk) 16:21, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
