Until 2009, the Lolland Line was operated by the Danish railway company A/S Lollandsbanen. Established in 1954, it was based on the remains of Det Lolland-Falsterske Jernbane-Selskab (LFJS). The company received funding from the now defunct Storstrøm County and from the central government.

The company was merged with Vestsjællands Lokalbaner A/S and Østbanen into a new company, Regionstog A/S, on 1 January 2009 and then on 1 July 2015 into Lokaltog A/S.{{cite web|url=http://www.regionstog.dk/om-regionstog/ |title=Om Regionstog |accessdate=2009-01-29 |publisher=Regionstog |language=Danish |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100605031645/http://www.regionstog.dk/om-regionstog |archivedate=June 5, 2010 }}
