above the surrounding terrain. Greve station has a single platform between the two tracks, running in a south-western to north-eastern direction. The platform can be accessed via staircases at both ends, but facilities such as the elevator, automatic ticket machines, the adjacent convenience store and bus stops are "concentrated" at the south-western end. Likewise, the "short" S-Trains (4 carriages rather than 8, used outside rush hours) also stop at this end of the platform.
In 2016 a construction project began at Greve station aimed at creating more open space and more bicycle stands. In the municipality of Greve, the station is a central point in the city and they want it to be a nice area to get into when walking out of the train. New, and more, lights are coming to the "plaza" of the station area. New coating to the ground is getting laid out and more green space is coming. The project is expected to be finished in November or December 2017.
The project is a 15 million Danish kroner project, where the municipality of Greve is paying the half.
