Stations and Route
The 15.5 km City Circle Line will serve 17 stations. It will intersect the M1 and M2 lines at Kongens Nytorv and Frederiksberg stations, and suburban train services at København H, Østerport and Nørrebro. It will extend the Metro network to the Nørrebro and Østerbro areas and København H (the Copenhagen central station).
Initially, two possible routes were considered, after an even bigger screening of ideas. In December 2005, the Copenhagen and Frederiksberg municipalities selected the Frederiksberg route. The purpose is to cover areas not yet serviced by S-trains or the Metro.
The finished line will influence much of Copenhagen's current transport network; it is believed that the expanded Metro will replace most bus services in the inner city.

Famous quotes containing the words stations and, stations and/or route:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“mourn
The majesty and burning of the child’s death.
I shall not murder
The mankind of her going with a grave truth
Nor blaspheme down the stations of the breath”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
