The original terminus of the railway from Copenhagen to Frederikssund, which opened in 1879, was located approximately where the current station is. In 1928 the
central Zealand railway opened betweenHvalsø and Frederikssund, and the station was moved about 500 m south such that the tracks could continue onto a bridge acrossRoskilde Fjord , the remains of which are still conspicuous. It was planned to extend the central Zealand railway westwards towardsSlangerup andHillerød , but the project was abandoned and the railway to Hvalsø was closed again in 1936.The station kept its new, somewhat remote, location for more than 50 years after this, even though the main bus terminal of Frederikssund remained at the original station's location, making transfers cumbersome. The area of the original station remained railway property, being used for freight, but only in 1989, when the railway was converted to
S-train service, did the passenger service return to a new station complex at the original location.###@@@KEYEND@@@###
