Where the operator posts disruptions

Planned works and metro buses

Because the Metro runs 24 hours a day, maintenance has to happen while the trains are running or during a deliberate closure. Metroselskabet closes short stretches of line at night or over a weekend, publishes the dates in advance, and runs replacement metro buses along the closed section.

Two things worth knowing if you are caught by one. The metro bus is much slower than the train, so allow extra time — particularly for a flight. And the bus does not call at every M3 station: Nørrebro, Aksel Møllers Have and Skjolds Plads are not on the replacement route, so you may need another connection to reach them.

Lifts and accessibility

Every station is step-free, but a lift is occasionally out of service. Metroselskabet lists lift outages on its status page, which is the page to check if a lift is the difference between a possible journey and an impossible one. Stations have more than one lift where the layout allows — Kongens Nytorv has six.

Status questions

Almost certainly — it runs 24 hours a day and the driverless system is very reliable. The live departure board on this page is the quickest way to be sure: if trains are listed for your station in the next few minutes, the line is running.
Metroselskabet publishes current status and planned closures at m.dk. Rejseplanen reflects disruptions in the journeys it suggests.
A replacement bus that runs along a closed stretch of line during planned works. It is free to use with a valid metro ticket, but slower than the train.
Occasionally. Outages are listed on the operator’s status page. Larger stations have several lifts, so a single failure rarely blocks step-free access completely.
Every carriage has an intercom to the control room, which is staffed around the clock, and platform screen doors mean the platform edge is never open. Metro Stewards patrol the network.
