Hundige railway station
railway station in Greve Municipality, Denmark
Hundige station is a suburban rail railway station serving the suburb of Hundige southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The station is located on the Køge radial of the Copenhagen's S-train network. It is situated close to the WAVES shopping center.
Hundige station opened along with the extension of the Køge radial from Vallensbæk station to Hundige in 1976: Since then, it has been the terminus of the S-train service A, and a stop on all other lines on the Køge radial. Hundige station is however now only an occasional terminus for service A, since in the daytime on weekdays, every second train in the service continues to Solrød Strand station.
Hundige station is a hub for public transportation in its area; right next to the platforms and tracks, is an array of designated bus stops for each of several bus lines serving the area, a pick-up and drop-off zone for taxis and private vehicles, and a parking lot.
History

On 30 September 1979, the railway line was continued beyond Hundige, as the third section of the Køge Bay Line from Hundige to Solrød Strand was completed.

Why this record matters
“Hundige railway station” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hundige, railway and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2793149. Authority coordinates are 55.598, 12.334. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976 and 1979.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
