Successful visit to three Danish Light Rails

An international group of 24 professionals have visited three Danish Light Rail systems in different stages of completition.

Aarhus have been operating for a while. Odense have recently opened, and Copenhagen are in the midst of construction.

We started the program in Aarhus and vent via Odense to Copenhagen. The three Light Rails have different characters, but they all have comparable conditions to many European Light Rails. There was plenty of important experiences to learn from.

The trip was organized in collaboration by Letbaner.dk, Spårvagnsstäderna and NLRA (Nordic Light Rail Association).
