Hovmarken railway halt

Hovmarken railway halt was a railway halt serving the eastern part of the railway town and suburb of Lystrup north of the city of Aarhus in Jutland, Denmark. [1] The halt was located on the Grenaa railway line between Aarhus and Grenaa. It opened in 1990 as Lystrup East railway halt, [2] and since 2019, the halt was served by the Aarhus light rail system, a tram-train network combining tram lines in the city of Aarhus with operation on railway lines in the surrounding countryside. [3]

Contents

Hovmarken railway halt closed, effective from the summer timetable change in 2024, with the last service calling at Hovmarken on the 29th of June 2024. [4] This was done to improve reliability on the line, which has been suffering from delays and cancellations. The closure of Hovmarken is expected to reduce travel times by up to 2 minutes, giving more room in the timetable for minor delays without spreading the delay to other services. [5] The decision to close Hovmarken was approved by a majority in the Aarhus Municipal council on the 10th of April 2024, in spite of opposition from locals and several politicians and parties.
