Charlottenlund station is located on the Klampenborg radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is served regularly by trains on the C-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 15 minutes.[1] The station opened in 1863 with the opening of the Klampenborg Line between Copenhagen and Klampenborg, and has been served by the S-train network since 1934.[7] Its second and current station building was built in 1898 to designs by the Danish architect Thomas Arboe (1836–1917).[5]
