Måløv station is an S-train railway station serving the suburb of Måløv northwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located on the Frederikssund radial of Copenhagen's S-train network.

History

Måløv station was built by Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab (the Railway Company of Zealand, now Danish State Railways) and opened 17 June 1879 between Frederikssund and Frederiksberg. On 1 January 1880, the railway station was taken over by the Danish state along with the Zealand Railway Company. And on 1 October 1885, it became part of the new national railway company, the Danish State Railways.

The railway line was electrified in 1989 and the traffic was transferred to the S-train network. In 2002, the railway line became double tracked in its whole length.

Architecture

The station building is also from 1879 when 4 stations were built according to the same plan: Herlev station, Måløv station, Veksø station and Ølstykke station. Like the other station buildings of the Frederikssund Line they were built to a design by the Danish architect Simon Peter Christian Bendtsen.

Services

Måløv station is served regularly by trains on the C-line of Copenhagen's S-train network which run between and via central Copenhagen.
