lovely! Ye ol' M2 "Airport" Line. This line follows the alignment of the old Amager Railway (closed 1974/1995) from just south of Øresund station all the way to the airport. A niché little fact about my local city's metro system < 3
Notice how the designers tried to place the station higher than the connecting lines between them. This provides a more energy efficient solution; When the train leaves the station, gravity will accelerate the train up to speed saving electricity. When the train approaches the next station, the climb will decellerate the train, saving brakes and noise.

Wow I didn’t look into that very much but yeah, I can see how the design is helpful for the network.
