Ballerup station is a suburban rail railway station serving the suburb of Ballerup northwest of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is situated in the middle of the suburb, and is integrated in the adjacent shopping center Ballerup Centret.
Ballerup station is located on the Frederikssund radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is an important transport hub for public transport in the northwestern suburbs of Copenhagen, and its large bus terminal is the terminus for many local bus lines through the rural areas outside the urban corridor that continues towards Frederikssund. The station is the terminus for most trains on the H-line S-train service, and contains a group of parking and reversing tracks between the main tracks west of the platform.
History

Ballerup station opened on 17 June 1879 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Frederikssund Line between Copenhagen and Frederikssund.
On 15 May 1949, the S-train network was extended to Ballerup and, for 40 years, Ballerup was a main transfer point between S-trains and the local diesel trains between Ballerup and Frederikssund.
On 28 May 1989, S-train service was extended from Ballerup all the way to Frederikssund.
Architecture
File:Ballerup Station rendering, c. 1879.jpg
Like many of the railway stations on the Frederikssund Line, Ballerup station's original station building from 1879 was built to designs by the Danish architect Simon Peter Christian Bendtsen (1842–1912).
The station building was torn down in 1988 and replaced with the current structure which is integrated in the adjacent shopping centre, Ballerup Centret.{{cite web |url=http://www.ballerupcentret.dk/index.php?pagegroupid=1&pageid=31 |title=Miljø & Historie |publisher=Ballerup Centret |accessdate=14 November 2009 |format= |work= |archive-date=15 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215020728/http://ballerupcentret.dk/index.php?pagegroupid=1&pageid=31 |url-status=dead }}
