History

The railway was built as part of the Zealand South Line (Sjællandske Sydbane) which was inaugurated on 4 October 1870. After 1924, most trains used the Ringsted-Næstved Line.

In 2012, it was decided to electrify the section between Køge and Næstved.[1] The works were completed in March 2019.[2]

When the new Copenhagen–Ringsted Line is fully operational, Lille Syd trains will run from Næstved to Copenhagen via Køge. Since December 2020, the northern part of the Lille Syd route, between Køge and Roskilde, has been served by an extension of Østbanen.[3][4]
