History


The section from Vejle to Give opened on 2 August 1894 as the private railway Vejle–Give (Vejle-Give Jernbane (VGJ)). In connection with the construction of the railway line between Give and Herning, the state took over ownership of VGJ on 1 April 1912. On 1 October 1914, the Danish State Railways (DSB) took over the operation of the line, which has since been operated as part of the Vejle–Holstebro railway line. The section from Give to Herning opened in 1914 and the section from Herning to Struer in 1904.

In 2018, operation of the regional rail services on the Vejle–Holstebro line were transferred from DSB to the public transport company Arriva.
