It is located on the Coast Line between Helsingør and Copenhagen and the Little North Line between Helsingør and Hillerød.

History

Snekkersten Station is not one of the original stations on the North Line which opened in 1864. The tracks were then located a little further to the west. In 1879, a halt was made near Borupgaard, a local farm. Traffic grew significantly when the Coast Line opened in 1897.^[1] The station was refurbished by Sigurd Christensen in 1854.
