The Little South Line (Danish: Lille Syd) is a railway line on the Danish island of Zealand, formerly connecting the towns of Roskilde and Næstved by way of Køge.
History
[edit | edit source]The railway was built as part of the Zealand South Line (Danish: Sjællandske Sydbane) which was inaugurated on 4 October 1870. After 1924, most trains used the Ringsted-Næstved Line instead of Lille Syd.
In 2012, it was decided to electrify the section between Køge and Næstved.[1] The works were completed in March 2019.[2]
Since December 2020, the northern part of the Little South Line, between Køge and Roskilde, has been served by an extension of Østbanen.[3][4] In April 2023, DSB started operating regional trains on the Næstved–Køge–Copenhagen route via the high speed Copenhagen–Køge Nord Line.[5]
