[1] The station is located in the central part of the district where one of its main arteries Toftegårds Allé crosses the railway line.
[7] The station was located slightly east of the current station, and was originally meant to serve mostly leisure trips to nearby Frederiksberg; it had a booming traffic in the railway's first years, which however dwindled as the novelty wore off.
In 1911 the current (third) central station was inaugurated almost at the site of the first one, and the railway moved back to its original alignment through Valby.
Over the years the city had grown towards Valby, so the station now had a sizeable native passenger base.
On 1 November 1934, S-trains began running from central Copenhagen to a temporary platform at Valby east of Toftegårds Allé.
