This traffic concept started in 2012, when the traffic on the two local railways Odderbanen and Grenaabanen was combined into one line, with new rolling stock.

The rolling stock was Siemens Desiro diesel multiple units.

The line closed in August 2016 for electrification and conversion to light rail service.

On 21 December 2017, the railway was finished repurposing for light rail service.

It opened with one line running from Aarhus Central Station to Skejby University Hospital.
