After political discussions it was decided to build a new dual track high speed railway between Helsingborg and Lund, as a part of a planned "West Coast Railway" between Copenhagen and Gothenborg. As Landskrona is located between Helsingborg and Lund, Landskrona was included in the planning for the new railway. But, as the new railway just "touched" the town's eastern end, there was a need for a new station in that area. The new station, located in what were until the late 1990s agricultural areas, now delineates a clear boundary between town and countryside. The new station, which opened in January 2001, allowed for a greater range of train operations compared to the old terminal station that accommodated southbound trains only. Today, all local Pågatågen trains and inter-regional Øresundståg trains stop at the new station, which gives the new station a weekday service frequency of 4-6 trains per hour in each direction.
