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.

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 trains were, however, forced to reverse direction in Malmö’s terminal station, which created delays for passengers travelling to Denmark from Lund and further north, and restricted the frequency of service, as each train had to both enter and leave Malmö by the same tracks.

The terminus station was renovated at the same time to accommodate occasional long-distance trains including some services to Stockholm and the night express to Berlin.

The adjacent train shed previously used for local Pågatågen was demolished in its entirety to allow for an extension to the Centralplan, its traffic taken over by the City Tunnel.
