State-owned Swedish SJ has already announced they are scrapping all services to Denmark. Öresundståg will continue, but with CPH as the terminus both out of Sweden and out of Helsingør via Copenhagen Central. So the CPH station will be the border checkpoint. The many thousands of daily train commuters between the Copenhagen and Malmö region will have to change trains. This should be especially fun at rush hour, as frequencies will also be cut.

I'm personally very sad that it's ended up like this. I'm old enough to remember travelling from Sweden to CPH via bus and the Limhamn-Dragør ferry, or the SK non-hovering hovercraft, and the delight over them being replaced by a local and frequent train. I'm afraid I can now confidently predict pandemonium at CPH's train station for the foreseeable future. Maybe it's just a Swedish government plot to make people from Southern Sweden take the train to ARN instead?
