  • Nej Til S-Tog Til Roskilde. Hvorfor? Og Hvad Så?  Nej Til S-Tog Til Roskilde
    Nej til S-tog til Roskilde. Hvorfor? Og hvad så? Nej til S-tog til Roskilde. Hvorfor? Og hvad så? Af: Civilingeniør Jan Schneider-Tilli, Banestyrelsen Planlægningsdivisionen1 Civilingeniør, Ph.D. Anders Hunæus Kaas, Atkins Danmark2 1. Baggrund Projekt ”S-tog til Roskilde” blev igangsat foråret 2001 efter et trafikforlig indgået af den daværende regering med højrefløjen. I forliget var hovedvægten, dvs. de største investeringer, tiltænkt vejsek- toren, hvor udvidelser af motorveje stod som noget centralt. Som det nok er de fleste bekendt, blev projekt ”S-tog til Roskilde” standset dagen før tredjebehand- ling af anlægsloven. Når vi alligevel fremlægger et paper på Aalborg Trafikdage, er det for at frem- lægge resultatet af de undersøgelser, som blev gennemført, samt at opridse mulighederne for efter- følgende baneprojekter. Kapacitetsproblemet mellem København og Høje Taastrup består! Etableringen af tilslutningsspor i Høje Taastrup, som skulle muliggøre kørsel med 2-systemtog fra S- banen til fjernbanen mod Roskilde og vice versa, skulle endvidere teknisk indrettes, så tog med begge baners elektrotekniske systemer kunne skifte mellem disse i fart. Banedelen heraf var designet, men i flg. DSB kunne det ikke lade sig gøre at ombygge de nye S-tog til 2-systemteknologi, hvilket reelt før- te til aflysningen af S-tog til Roskilde. Dette berøres ikke for nærværende. Det har fra projektstarten været klart, at de regularitetsmæssige konsekvenser af en sammenbinding af S-banen og fjernbanen skulle undersøges nøje. Resultatet af disse analyser gengives i dette paper, idet de også har betydning for fremtidige løsninger af kapacitetsproblemet vest for København. 2. Status på trafikale analyser Projekt S-tog til Roskilde indeholdte 2 etaper: • Etape 1 med direkte S-tog Østerport-Roskilde • Etape 2 med - i tillæg til etape 1 – direkte S-tog Kastrup-Roskilde til erstatning for nuværende regionaltog i timetakt.

Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark. It is in tune with the priorities for 2020: competitiveness, social inclusion and the need for ecologically sustainable change.

Transdisciplinary Journal of Cultural Participation, vol. 1, no. 1, 2014. ISSN 2246-3755 Introduction In the fall of 2013, a group of homeless people occupied a central site in the Danish town of Aarhus. Having chosen a site just next to Godsbanen (“the old freight train station”), which opened in March 2012 as a new main center for cultural production in Aarhus, the occupation made quite a stir among local politicians, local media, and citizens. Furthermore, as an alderman from the town council turned in the occupants to the police, this triggered a wide-reaching public debate on topics from homelessness to the cultural policy of Aarhus. Over the period from December to 2013 to March 2014, which we will be focusing on in this article, the case of the homeless metamorphosed further, as the above-mentioned alderman altered his conviction, new groups joined the group of homeless, and new action was taken by the city’s body of public administration.

  • Forbedret Togbetjening Med S-Tog Til Roskilde
    Forbedret togbetjening med S-tog til Roskilde Af: Civilingeniør Jan Schneider-Tilli, Banestyrelsen Civilingeniør Jens W. Brix, Banestyrelsen Civilingeniør, Ph.D. Anders Hunæus Kaas, WS Atkins Danmark 1 Projektets nytte & perspektiver 1.1 Baggrund Jernbanestrækningen København-Roskilde-Ringsted er af central betydning i den danske togtrafik. Den forbinder København med sjællandske byer og med Fyn og Jylland. Strækningen betjenes både af lyntog, intercitytog, regionaltog og mellem København og Høje Taastrup også af S-tog. Endvidere udgør strækningen en del af transitruten for godstrafik mellem Sverige og Tyskland. Fjernbanen er i dag dobbeltsporet på strækningerne København-Høje Tåstrup og Roskilde-Ringsted, men 4-sporet mellem Høje Tåstrup og Roskilde. Kapaciteten er med den nuværende trafik opbrugt på strækningen Hvidovre-Høje Tåstrup, hvor stort set alle fjern- og godstog passerer, og på strækningen Roskilde-Ringsted, hvor der ganske vist kører færre tog, men hvor kapaciteten er alligevel opbrugt, fordi togtrafikkens sammensætning her er meget uensartet over en længere strækning med en blanding af hurtige lyntog, gennemkørende regional- og intercitytog, standsende regionaltog (der betjener Borup og Viby) samt langsomme godstog. På S-banen mellem København og Høje Tåstrup, som er dobbeltsporet, haves endnu ledig kapacitet. Togbetjeningen kan imidlertid ikke umiddelbart udvides med nye linier til det centrale København, idet kapaciteten også er opbrugt på de centrale dele af S-banenettet. Flaskehalsene på fjernbanen forhindrer umiddelbart den videre udvikling af jernbaneproduktet. Det sker i en tid, hvor transportefterspørgslen ellers er stigende indenfor jernbanens kerneområder – og hvor der politisk ønskes stigende markedsandele på jernbane frem for på vej. Det var baggrunden for, at der i 1997-1999 blev gennemført analyser af mulighederne for at tilveje- bringe ny kapacitet, enten ved udbygning langs den eksisterende bane, nybygning langs Køge Bugt motorvejen eller en kombination af disse forslag.
