History
The railway was built as part of the Zealand South Line (Sjællandske Sydbane) which was inaugurated on 4 October 1870. After 1924, most trains used the Ringsted-Næstved Line.
In 2012, it was decided to electrify the section between Køge and Næstved.[1] The works were completed in March 2019.[2]
When the new Copenhagen–Ringsted Line is fully operational, Lille Syd trains will run from Næstved to Copenhagen via Køge. The northern part of the existing Lille Syd route, between Køge and Roskilde will be served by an extension of Østbanen.[3]
