Palads Teatret (the Palads Cinema ), also known simply as the Palads , is a cinema operated by Nordisk Film in Copenhagen , Denmark . It offers a wide selection of films in its 17 auditoriums, more than in any other Danish cinema.
83-576: The Palads was established in Copenhagen's former central railway station on Axeltorv which had ceased operations in 1911 following the construction of a new station. After major reconstruction work, the cinema opened on 18 October 1912. With 1780 seats and a 30-man orchestra, it was Scandinavia's largest entertainment centre. The former station building was completely demolished in 1917, providing space for today's building designed by Andreas Clemmensen and Johan Nielsen. Kai Nielsen 's sculpture of Ursus and

The station is designed in National Romantic style , a Nordic architectural style that was part of the National Romantic movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and which is often considered to be a form of Art Nouveau . The prominent materials are brick, slate and granite , and
249-659: A day. Intercity trains run half-hourly from Copenhagen during daytime and serve as a link between the major cities and towns in Denmark, including Odense , Aarhus , Aalborg , Esbjerg , Thisted and Sønderborg . Regional trains (stops at major stations within the Greater Copenhagen area) connect the main parts of Zealand to the capital. The Øresundståg regional rail network depart to southern and western Sweden every 20 minutes (24/7 service between Lund Central Station and Østerport Station). All S-train services except

According to the Østtællingen in 2008: Copenhagen Central Station is used as a location at 1:12:36 in the 1975 Olsen-banden film The Olsen Gang on the Track . Egon ( Ove Sprogøe ) hides a suitcase in the luggage storage at Copenhagen Central Station in The Olsen Gang Outta Sight (1977) and
415-466: A host of decorative details have been added. Inspired by Herholdt's railway station, Wenck also used a wooden arch construction both in the two departure and arrival halls and in the 6 arches over the platforms. It was probably just as much a stylistic choice, since Wenck rarely used cast iron . However, the entire railway station's foundation, basement and the platform that support the railway station site are made of reinforced concrete . Wenck's building
498-458: A largely unknown architect named L.F. Meyer (or Meier). But it has also been suggested that the railway station in Copenhagen should be attributed to the architect Harald Conrad Stilling , as there are strong similarities between the railway station and Stilling's roller coaster in the amusement park Tivoli Gardens . Both buildings are characterized by Italian rural architecture , and Stilling
581-590: A marketplace where fresh fruit sellers, newsstands, a post office, ATMs, currency exchanges, hamburgers, coffee shops, restaurants and pubs can all be found.

Copenhagen Central Station provides Copenhagen with Intercity and Express trains across Denmark, as well as services to several international destinations. Direct international trains connect to Stockholm and Hamburg several times
664-458: A monumental reminder of Danish architecture in the beginning of the 20th century. As I express the wish that our new station may make establish a more firm connection between the capital and the country and between Denmark and abroad, I declare Copenhagen Station open!. The following day, 1 December, the first train departed from the station. Since the northbound tunnel (the Boulevard Line )
747-490: A short stretch of its route. Hence, some stations may be served by one intercity train while another may pass it. For example, the Intercity trains between Arnhem Central station and Utrecht Central station alternately serve Driebergen-Zeist or Veenendaal-De Klomp (and both when the frequency is lowered from 4tph to 2tph in the evening). Often, intercity trains run as local trains along the very end of its route. For example,
830-584: A staircase from the Tietgensgade street. There is a plan to extend the length of this track and build another track on the other side of the same platform, called track 27, and improve walking access to them. The station services the Copenhagen S-train network, but the S-train system in Copenhagen doesn't use any kind of hub at all. It is an urban transit which differs from most Metro systems mainly by being
913-584: A total of four S-train tracks, of the station can be said to begin as an underground station). A hotel ( Astoria ) is built above the S-train tracks in the Northern end, but the remaining tracks are uncovered below street level. (Open areas between tunnel sections were necessary to have during the era of steam trains, while the S-trains always have been electrical). In the opposite (platform) end, all platforms are covered with

#1732868777141996-438: A type of railway. At the station are two platforms with four tracks (track 9–12) that are used by the S-trains only. All other trains usually use the other four platforms and eight tracks. Because Denmark uses right-hand traffic , the tracks 1–4 are mainly used for northbound traffic, and tracks 5–8 for southbound, but tracks 3–6 can also be used for trains that change direction at the station. The main concourse also functions as
1079-484: Is a gesamtkunstwerk , where the architect has drawn all the details; right from the Bornholm tiles, benches, the large chandeliers, of which 12 pieces originally hung (2 are set up in the hall, 2 others are found at Østerport Station), the kiosks, wrought iron signs with neat writing, door handles and brass signs with DSB logo and stained glass windows with city coats of arms from Danish cities. The Danish sculptor Jens Lund

IC-Services: The InterCity service from Vienna to Salzburg is going to be expanded for an hourly service to Landeck via Innsbruck by December 2008. Also, the service from Vienna to Graz is going to operate hourly by December 2008. The IC44 and IC45 trains stop at Bratislava-Petržalka, Bratislava-Nové Mesto, Bratislava Hlavná Stanica, Trnava, Žilina, Poprad, and Kysak; it takes 6:22h for
1411-474: Is surrounded by the historic hotels Hotel Plaza , Hotel Astoria from 1935, and Hotel Royal from 1960, designed by Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen . To the west of the station starts Istedgade , which developed into an entertainment , and red light district after the station opened, but has undergone a partial gentrification process in later years. The station building has entrances from Bernstorffsgade, Banegårdspladsen and Reventlowsgade, and
1494-495: Is the main railway station in Copenhagen, Denmark , and the largest railway station in Denmark. With more than 100,000 travellers every day, it is the second busiest station in Denmark after Nørreport station . It is located in central Copenhagen, situated between the districts of Indre By and Vesterbro with entrances from Bernstorffsgade (opposite Tivoli Gardens ), Banegårdspladsen , Reventlowsgade and access to platforms from Tietgensgade .

1660-667: The Bpmz 291 , were built for InterCity services, which at first were using the TEE colour scheme. In 1985, with many of the TEE trains gone and the introduction of the InterRegio , the network was expanded again, now covering virtually any major city of then- West Germany . It faced further changes after the German reunification and the introduction of the InterCityExpress in the early 1990s. Today, after
1743-640: The De Dietrich Ferroviaire rolling stock in 1997. This, coupled with the subsequent withdrawal of most coaching stock bearing the logo and the rebrand to the Translink name, means that the InterCity brand has largely disappeared from Northern Ireland Railways. In Italy , InterCity trains constitute a capillary network that links the main cities across the peninsula. There were over 80-day (InterCity Sun) and night (InterCity Notte) services. Things changed with

#17328687771411826-763: The Department for Transport . In West Germany, the Deutsche Bundesbahn first used the name (then written Intercity ) in 1968, denoting special first-class services on the F-Zug train network. Many of the Class VT 11.5 diesel multiple units formerly used on the TEE network were converted for early Intercity services. In Switzerland, the InterCity brand replaced SwissExpress in the 1982 schedule. In Norway, intercity (later also written InterCity ) trains were introduced in 1975 on
1909-475: The Dublin Suburban Rail network. Today the brand encompasses services between Dublin and Cork , Galway , Limerick , Tralee , Waterford , Sligo , Westport , Rosslare Europort , Ballina , and Ennis , as well as some regional services.

From 29 September 2019 the Central station is also served by the Copenhagen Metro network's line M3 (in service 24/7), which is a circular line with 17 stations. The station is also served by the M4 line, linking the Nordhavn and Sydhavn districts and serve as an interchange between the Sydhavn extension and the M3. Long-distance buses stop at Ingerslevsgade near track 12 just south of
2075-477: The Greater Copenhagen area, as well as lines M3 ( City Circle Line ) & M4 of the Copenhagen Metro network. The first station in Copenhagen opened in 1847. The current station building opened in 1911 and is the work of architect Heinrich Wenck . The station has 7 platforms and 13 tracks. On the station concourse there are many small shops, restaurants, cafés, and fast food outlets. The central station
2158-740: The IC3 yet. It is now planned to give the IC3 stock a 10-year life extension, and to eventually scrap IC4 trains, due to the plague of poor reliability. IR4 stock (Electric version of IC3 ) will release IC3 stock from the Esbjerg Line, allowing some IC3 trains to replace IC4 trains. In Finland, VR has operated InterCity trains between major Finnish cities since August 1988. The first routes were Helsinki–Vaasa and Helsinki–Imatra, which later expanded to all major cities and include for instance Helsinki–Tampere–Oulu–Rovaniemi, Helsinki–Turku, Helsinki–Iisalmi and Helsinki–Joensuu. InterCity trains have become
2241-519: The Klampenborg Line to Klampenborg . The new railway station was located a little north of the location of the old one, on the other side of Vesterbrogade . The station building was located approximately where the Palads Cinema and Axelborg lie today, but it was part of a larger facility, as there was a freight station in the same area. Together with track areas, depots , and turntables ,

The average distance between station is shorter than most IC trains in most other countries, but frequencies are higher. All lines are served at least with 2tph, but many busy stretches are served have 4tph. From Utrecht Central there are even two different services to Amsterdam, one that serves
2407-460: The Tietgensgade bridge. All public transport within Greater Copenhagen are divided into close to 100 ticket fare zones. The Central station is located in fare zone 1, which together with zones 2 and 3 constitute Copenhagen municipality and the "enclave" of Frederiksberg municipality. As the cheapest single ticket always is valid in two zones, a single ticket bought at the station is valid within
2490-460: The central station and two others and another that serves the south station and the airport . From December 2017 the frequency between Amsterdam, Utrecht and Eindhoven will be further increased to 6tph. Rolling stock used mostly for intercity services in the Netherlands is VIRM . DD-AR trains have been converted to be used as New Intercity Double deckers and have been introduced to parts of

The other is served by trains of private operator RegioJet with speed up to 160 km/h. No surcharge is applied to IC trains but RegioJet runs reservation compulsory trains. Third private passenger operator LEO Express introduced express InterCity train service between Prague and Ostrava in November 2012, with speeds up to 160 km/h. The state-owned operator České dráhy also serves line Prague – Ostrava (with some connections extended to Bohumín and Františkovy Lázně ) with Pendolino trainsets under designation " SuperCity ", which conforms to IC standard. A compulsory reservation

The creation of the station project proved to be difficult. In the years 1898–1902, Wenck prepared several proposals for a new multi-storey station building, which, however, were rejected by the Rigsdag for being unnecessarily lavish. In most of these proposals, Wenck proposed
4233-400: The network is not electrified. There are also electrical IC trains run by IR4s in an hourly schedule from Copenhagen westwards to Odense and alternately Esbjerg / Sønderborg . This means during most of the day there are three trains an hour between Copenhagen and Odense. Quite unusual in the world, some trains will consist of both electrically and diesel-powered units coupled together. Being

5727-453: Was VR's aim in 1988. Only the Pendolino and Allegro trains are faster than InterCity trains in Finland. In 2006, the SNCF rebranded Corail, Téoz and Lunéa services as ' Intercités ', a brand for all of their 'classic' services day and night. In Germany, the InterCity network was launched in 1971 to accompany and eventually replace the Trans Europ Express trains. At first, IC services were first-class only, often using TEE stock and
5810-404: Was a royal waiting room and then toilets. As the volume of traffic increased, a special freight forwarding building was added. In the long run, however, this second station also became too cramped, especially because it was a terminal station with only one track leading out of the city which had to cross the lakes of Copenhagen on a narrow dam along Gyldenløvesgade . On the other side of
5893-518: Was a live music venue, distinctive for their line in the music program were two concerts with the Sex Pistols in 1977. 55°40′35″N 12°33′48″E / 55.67639°N 12.56333°E / 55.67639; 12.56333 Copenhagen Central Station Copenhagen Central Station ( Danish : Københavns Hovedbanegård , pronounced [kʰøpm̩ˈhɑwns ˈhoːð̩pɛnəˌkɒˀ] ; abbreviated København H , colloquially usually referred to as Hovedbanegården or simply Hovedbanen )
5976-427: Was a terminus. It has later been used for express trains to or from Sweden or to or from Norway . After the introduction of border controls and mandatory identity checks for travel to Sweden this track was fenced and used for X2000 and intercity trains to Sweden. The extra track 26 is located 200 metres (660 ft) south of the main building and is reachable only by walking along the platform for track 4 and 5 or from
6059-507: Was abandoned due to opposition from the Rigsdag , Denmark's parliament. In the end, it was decided to replace the old station and build a new larger station near the location of the old one. The construction started in 1863 and the station opened on 14 October 1864. As planned, the new railway station was also to service the new northbound railway lines that opened the year before, the North Line to Hillerød and Elsinore and its branch line ,
6142-416: Was constructed of wood as it was built outside the city's fortifications within the demarcation line , a no-build zone outside the ramparts where brick buildings were not allowed for military reasons. In case of war, the army should be able to burn buildings in the firing range outside the ramparts. This railway station and the still existing Roskilde station (which is built in brick) are both linked to
6225-412: Was demolished in 1865. In the 1860s, there were several plans to expand the railway network in Denmark , and in particular to connect a northbound line to North Zealand with the existing westbound line to Roskilde and the rest of Zealand . As a consequence, an expansion of the old station became necessary. A proposal to build a new station close to the old Nørreport ( Northern Gate ) city gate
6308-662: Was introduced in 1950, running between the cities of London and Birmingham . This usage can claim to be the origin of all later usages worldwide. In 1966 British Rail introduced the brand InterCity for all of its express train routes, and in 1986 the term was adopted by the InterCity sector of British Rail . Following the privatisation of the railways in Great Britain, the term is no longer in official use there although many people still refer to fast long-distance services as InterCity trains. The brand still exists though, and belongs to
6391-890: Was introduced in May 1987. EuroCity trains consist of high-standard, air conditioned coaches, are run by a variety of operators, and are usually subject to on-board border controls. For example, EuroCity trains running in Germany can be made up by rolling stock of either the SBB (Switzerland), ÖBB (Austria), SNCF (France), and less commonly by stock of the Czech ČD and Hungarian MÁV railways. The Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) have operated IC services since 1991. However, contrary to most other countries, these are often little more than regional rail , as most long-distance, high-standard trains in Austria are likely to be EuroCity (EC) services, even when not leaving
6474-562: Was located at the site of Dronningens Enghave ( the Queen's Meadow Garden ), a former royal pleasure garden located just outside the Vesterport ( Western Gate ) city gate of Copenhagen. The first station was located approximately at the site of the current station, but the tracks were perpendicular to their current direction, as the railway line then left the city along the current streets Halmtorvet and Sønder Boulevard . The station building
6557-424: Was not opened until 1917, the new station was initially only served by trains on the westbound lines, and the old station continued to serve the trains on the northbound lines for a period. With the opening of the first double track of the Boulevard line on 1 December 1917, the direct connection with Østerport station was established. Now trains along the line from Copenhagen to Elsinore could continue directly to
6640-399: Was one of the most well-versed architects of this Italian style, just as he had insight into wood construction from his assignments at Tivoli. For both station buildings, a motif with two towers without spires is a central part of the composition (the towers at Roskilde station were crowned by a balustrade until 1873, when they were covered by pyramid roofs ). The first station building
6723-418: Was overhauled in 1980. Escalators and lifts were established to the platforms, and the station concourse, which was originally split into arrival, departure, and freight sections, was redone completely. The station was overhauled again from 2004 to 2008. This overhaul replaced the roof, lowered platforms 3 to 6 to international standards and lengthened them. The towers and the bridge over the platforms, upon which
6806-434: Was responsible for the ten folkloristic figures of sandstone on the main facade representing persons in folk costumes from various parts of the country (1910): Amager , Fanø , Hedeboegnen , Læsø , Mols , Ringkøbing , Salling , Samsø , Skovshoved and southern Funen . The station has 7 platforms and 13 tracks. The platforms begin under the main passenger hall (and at least the S-train section, two platforms with
6889-447: Was withdrawn in 2009. Since Ireland completed its replacement of the old Mark 2 and Mark 3 stock in 2012, it has one of the most modern InterCity fleets in the world. Northern Ireland Railways and Iarnród Éireann both formerly operated trains on the Dublin – Belfast line under the InterCity brand, however this was replaced with the revived Enterprise brand name upon the introduction of
