Malmö Central Station TrafficMalmö Central Station TrafficThe stations track layout is numbered 1-10 from north to south, beginning with the four underground through tracks. The underground part of the station - tracks 1-4 - is a through station and consists of two island platforms. The northernmost platform (track 1-2) is usually served by trains heading south into the city tunnel. This is due to Denmark using right-hand traffic for railway, and not left-hand traffic like Sweden. In order not to have to switch direction of traffic at the Öresund Bridge, which was the case before the City Tunnel extension, and thereby increasing capacity, the switch from left to right traffic now happens entering into the Malmö Central Station's underground tracks coming from north, thus making the entire City Tunnel operate right-hand traffic. The south platform (track 3-4) is thus usually served by trains heading north out of the City Tunnel. The above ground part of the station - tracks 5-10 - is a terminal station made up of four side platforms with two tracks each between the three spaces between these. From here services usually either begin or terminate their route. A decent amount of train services - both local, regional and long-distance - still fall into this category, and thus the terminus station is still in frequent use, though not as frequent as the underground through station. Just south of the station building is the station's bus terminal. Its western part (modes A-F) is for local city buses, and the eastern part (modes G-I) is used by regional buses, long-distance services and temporary replacement buses.
