Malmö Central Station () is a railway station on the Southern Main Line in Malmö, Sweden, opened in 1856. It serves approximately 17 million passengers per year. With the opening of the City Tunnel in 2010, the station began through services connecting south to Copenhagen via the Öresund Line, to stations north on the Southern Main Line, saving at least 15 minutes for through passengers. Description The central station has ten tracks. Four tracks are underground at the northernmost point of the City Tunnel, and 6 tracks are above ground in the old terminus station. It is marked as a listed building. The station consists mainly of two perpendicular buildings above ground - the central hall and the terminus train shed - and a newer glass corridor in between these two older buildings. The glass corridor was inaugurated in 2010 as part of the City Tunnel project in order to connect the bus stops south of the station with the platforms, the escalators to the lower level platforms and the taxi station located just north of the station. Along the corridor are SJ and Skånetrafiken ticket sales, exchange offices and kiosks, making it the main waiting area of the station. The central hall which previously filled that function is since 2011 a food court with a number of restaurants and smaller shops. The underground platforms can also be accessed from an entrance located just west of the station at the Anna Lindh's place. History Malmö Station was first opened in 1856, coinciding with the opening of the Malmö–Lund railway. At the time, the area was located in the outer edges of the city, but was convenient to Copenhagen-bound ferries, which loaded and unloaded in the Inre hamnen right in front of the station building. The building was nearly destroyed ten years later in a fire, on 14 December 1866. When the building was reconstructed, the bell tower was kept. That part, between the platforms and the square Centralplan, was reopened in 1872. More and more lines were built and consequently more and more tracks and train sheds were needed. The new train shed with four new tracks opened in 1891. The Malmö-Kontinentens Järnväg from Malmö to Trelleborg was built in 1898. In 1926, Malmö Central Station became the station's official name. Though the train shed was built as a terminus, there was also a single through-line for freight next to
