Finally, another updated diagram on my blog: the 2026 🇩🇰 #Denmark 🚂 rail diagram with a slightly modified layout. It is one of my oldest diagrams. It is also the one in which the sea is most dominant. The islands allow for a little cheating in terms of size, in order to fit the differently dense rail network.

@larstransportworld It would be cool to have a companion diagram for 1956. Denmark probably has the most transformed network in Europe.

@partim @larstransportworld I found this diagram in my archive, but it obviously does not show train frequency and I also do not actually know how old it is. Probably newer than the 50s.

@ajnn @partim Wonderful! 😍 The layout and the structure of the digram wasn't that different than today. I tried to date the diagram, but it's quite difficult. My guess is between 1980 (after closing Tønder-Niebüll) and before 1993 (opening Snoghøj-Taulov). Another hint is the S-tog between Helsingør and Hillerød (1968-2006). Maybe someone else knows more in order to limit the possible date.

@larstransportworld @partim Yeah, just based on the graphical style of the diagram, some time in the 1980s seems very plausible.

@ajnn @larstransportworld Definitely way newer. I mentioned the fifties because then all the secondary lines were still there. They had quite the network back then …

@larstransportworld @jon It's disappointing that there's no train connection to Legoland (Billund)

@xgebi @larstransportworld and it even has an airport!

@xgebi @larstransportworld @jon there were plans to extend the line from Vejle to Give with a branch to Billund. But since it is only a single track, this would have led to fewer/slower trains on the existing track. Somehow this resulted in calculated net losses for society, even if the extension was free. Since the project was unpopular by some local elected politicians I believe it is either cancelled or simply ignored. So car and bus are the only options to Billund airport etc

@larstransportworld That's a really nice diagram. I'll be referring to it when talking rail journeys with the kids henceforth.
