At the meeting, the Board was briefed on the status of the preliminary study of metro service to Lynetteholmen, where work is now continuing on three route options in the technical report. It is still expected that the preliminary study can be submitted to the project steering group in early 2020.

The board also approved a number of renovations to the Control and Maintenance Center for M1/M2 to make room for the eight newly purchased trains that will help alleviate capacity challenges in the metro. Among other things, the renovation will ensure that there is space to maintain all 42 trains on M1/M2 once the eight additional trains are in operation.

Finally, the Board discussed the status of the City Ring in connection with the company's announcement earlier this week regarding the new schedule for the opening of the capital's new metro line.

"Overall, it is now a matter of completing the final work on the project so that we can welcome the many customers who are looking forward to using the new metro network. Together with the contractors, we have drawn up an updated and realistic timetable, which means that the City Ring can open at the end of September. However, this still requires effective and focused efforts from all parties so that we can ensure a qualified basis for obtaining the final safety approval," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Metroselskabet.
