Nørreport station in 1917, the terminus moved toCopenhagen Central Station . In 1934, the station started serving S-trains.When completed in 2017, the
Copenhagen Metro lines M3 and M4 on theCity Circle Line will serve the station. Plans are to place the Metro station on "Oslo Plads" between "Kristianiagade" and "Østbanegade" with the staircase towards Østerport station. A subway between the Metro platforms to the main station building will allow passengers easy interchange to and from S-trains,InterCity , and regional services.
