Padborg Station

Padborg Station is a railway station in the Danish town of Padborg in the southern part of Jutland. It is the last Danish train station before the border with Germany which lies immediately south of the station, on the route to Flensburg.

The extensive station building has no booking office (self-service ticket machines available) but has a waiting room and toilet facilities. Office space in the station building is used by a number of railfreight companies as Padborg retains extensive railway marshalling yards north of the passenger station. A two-hourly cross-boundary Copenhagen/Flensburg service is operated by DSB and calls here, supplemented by a limited service of EuroCity trains penetrating further into Germany and an overnight sleeper service to/from Munich.

To the west, Tønder, Denmark on the route to Niebull is a further boundary station.

Pre-Schengen, Padborg was also where there was a large-scale checking of travelers passports, visas and / or other identity documents but this has all disappeared in the approximately 10 years since Denmark has become an active part of the Schengen cooperation.

Passenger traffic has especially gained momentum after Eurocity and CityNightLine lines was created and developed.
