Helsingborg Central Station

Knutpunkten is Helsingborg's largest railway station (out of three within the conurbation and ten in total within Helsingborg's municipality) and one of the largest in Sweden. The other two railway stations in the city are Maria Station heading north, and Ramlösa Station heading south.

Before 1991, the station located 300 m to the north (Helsingborg F/Helsingborg ferry station) was important primarily for long-distance traffic by train from Gothenburg and Stockholm, which also continued by ferry to Helsingør. 200 meters south of Knutpunkten was Helsingborg's old central station with trains to, among other things, Malmö.

Nowadays, Öresund trains go to Gothenburg, Malmö and Copenhagen via Landskrona. There are also Pågatåg to Förslöv and Halmstad and also to Kristianstad (via Hässleholm and Åstorp) and to Trelleborg via Landskrona and towards Ystad via Eslöv. SJ also serves Helsingborg as part of the Malmö-Helsingborg-Gothenburg line, after not serving the city in 2011–2015. South of the underground railway station (with four tracks) the West Coast Line is double track. North of the station, traffic is routed under Helsingborg in the single-track Helsingborg tunnel and continues through Pålsjö forest above ground to Maria Station. From 2024, this segment will be the only remaining section of the Västkustbanan that has not been expanded to double tracks.

Regional buses and express buses have a bus terminal at Knutpunkten, which was inaugurated in 2005. City buses mostly stop on the street outside of the station building.

In 2015, Scandlines and HH Ferries were consolidated as ForSea Ferries which now runs all the passenger ferry services between Helsingborg and Helsingør. The brand name Scandlines was discontinued for the route in 2018.

At the end of 2023, platforms are to be put into use 200 meters south of the main building for passenger trains to Hässleholm, Eslöv and more, in order to expand capacity in connection with the double track construction on the West Coast Line.[4]

A substitute pågatåg awaits departure to Malmö via Teckomatorp.

Knutpunkten was built in 1984-1991 according to drawings by Ivar Krepp and is located where the old Central Station designed by Helgo Zettervall[5] was located. With the construction of the Knutpunkten and the lowering of the tracks into the Helsingborg Tunnel, a major problem regarding the railway in Helsingborg was solved.

The property has changed owners several times in the mid-2000s. In 2005, Kungsleden AB sold the property to a fund managed by the Danish Keops A/S. In 2007, the property was acquired by a fund managed by British Lathe Investment, to be taken over by Nordic Land in 2008. On October 13, 2010, the building changed owners again, this time to Wihlborgs. On behalf of the new owner, the building has since been rebuilt in two stages, 2014-2016, with the establishment of five new levels of office space for business operations in the form of an office, and in 2019-2021 when the facade seen from the north, at the northern main entrance, changed appearance to a modern glass structure, and new areas for restaurant operations have been established inside this glass structure.[6]
