Ballerup was one of the original stations on the railway to Frederikssund, which opened on 17 June 1879. 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 29 September 1989, S-train service was extended all the way to Frederikssund.
