M1 (Copenhagen) - Route

Route

M1 starts at Vanløse, where there is transfer to the S-train's lines C and H. The line starts elevated and is located in fare zone 2. The borough of Vanløse is mostly a residential area. The line then runs into the enclave municipality of Frederiksberg, running parallel to the Frederikssund Line of the S-train. At Flintholm, there is transfer to the C, F and H-lines of the S-train. Flintholm is the country's third-largest public transport hub. The station is located at the Grøndal Park, and is the borderline between the urban and suburban Copenhagen. The area around Lindevang is a redeveloped industrial area, that now is mostly residential, in addition to hosting the Copenhagen Business School.

After Lindevang, the line dives into the tunnel that it will follow through the city center. At Fasanvej is another campus of the Copenhagen Business School. Frederiksberg serves the center of the municipality, that in addition to many public offices and cultural facilities, serves the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Life Sciences and another campus of the Copenhagen Business School. The station is located in both fare zone 1 and 2. Frederiksberg will become a transfer station to M3 when the City Circle Line presumably opens in 2018. Forum is the last station in Frederiksberg Municipality, but located only a few blocks from the Copenhagen borough of Nørrebro. The Forum area is a residential area from the 1930s and 1940, built in functionalism, and hosts the Royal Danish Academy of Music.

Nørreport lays within Indre By—the city center of Copenhagen. It is the main intersection with DSB's intercity and regional trains, as well as the S-train, serving lines A, B, C, E and H. Kongens Nytorv lays at the heart of the commercial and cultural center of Copenhagen. When the City Circle Line opens, the station will serve as the transfer to lines M3 and M4. Christianshavn is located on an island, a former navy base that has been redeveloped into residential and commercial mix. It is the last station served by both lines, with M1 branching off towards Islands Brygge.

Islands Brygge is the first station to lay within the redeveloped area of Ørestad. Located in the borough of Amager Vest, it is located adjacent to the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Copenhagen and the IT University of Copenhagen. The station is the last located underground. DR Byen is located at the southern end of the campus. It is named for DR Byen, the headquarters of the national broadcaster DR. Copenhagen Concert Hall is located adjacent to the station. Sundby is located close to a large recreational area to the west, a residential to the east and the psychiatric division of Amager Hospital.

Bella Center is located in a traditional housing area, but is also adjacent to Scandinavia's largest convention center, Bella Center. Ørestad is located in the heart of the new urban development area. In addition to numerous corporate offices and educational institutions, the area hosts Field's, the Nordic Countries' largest shopping center. The metro station is located above the DSB regional Oresundtrain station, that has international services to Sweden. Vestamager is the terminus of M1. It is located close to the Kalvebod Commons.
