Aspirations to diminish the role of the Roskilde – Køge – Næstved secondary line have been axed due the key role the southern section from Køge to Næstved will play in the planned new Copenhagen – Køge – Ringsted line.
This single track line will be very useful as a diversionary route for traffic towards the planned Femern link and therefore may be a candidate for electrification. There are also plans to run half hourly regional service between Næstved and Copenhagen using the new line between Køge and Copenhagen.
It is still planned to issue tenders for operation of the Fredericia – Odense – Svendborg regional service.
