[edit] History

Service E is the continuation of the "fast" steam trains that ran between Copenhagen and Hillerød since the late 1800s. They acquired a service letter when they were replaced by S-trains in 1986. Later the main characteristic of service E came to be serving the outer end of the Køge radial.
