[edit] Two stations or one?

The article tries to described a single station named "Lufthavnen", which is serviced by the metro as well as mainline trains. This does not quite match reality. Most conspicuously, the mainline station is named "Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup" (though the comma sometimes is missing) in everything from timetables to platform signage.

It would be most correct, in my opinion, to say that there are two rail stations in the vicinity of Copenhagen Airport:

• A mainline station "Københavns Lufthavn Kastrup", directly below Terminal 3.
• A metro station "Lufthavnen", accessible by stairs and a walkway from the landside end of Terminal 3.

However, it would be confusing for readers who are not prepared to make such fine distinctions if we had two different articles. I think, therefore (but am prepared to be convinced otherwise) that we should have a single article that describes both stations, but describes them as being distinct, in different sections and with separate s-rail tables. Then Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup Station and Københavns Lufthavn Kastrup Station should redirect here, and be used in succession links at København H. –Henning Makholm 02:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

This seems a reasonable approach to me. David Arthur (talk) 15:00, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
