Denmark’s rail network is in a constant state of construction, and DSB is now warning passengers to expect more major track work ahead.

DSB already warns of a »challenging« 2027: these routes will be affected

In the first half of 2026, DSB’s customer punctuality stood at 62.8 per cent, down 16 per cent on 2025. By all accounts, 2027 is shaping up to be another bruising year for Danish rail passengers. Foto: Jens Dresling
