The Greater Copenhagen Light Rail will operate throughout the area, serving the station, as well as Downtown Herlev and Herlev Hospital, when construction is consummated in the summer of 2026.[5] All the tracks have been laid, but there is still a lack of welds of rails in certain areas. Traction power will be installed in late autumn 2025; as of an update released in May 2025, only 35% of the traction power system was installed.[6]
