Around 10,000 travellers had passed the checkpoints at Copenhagen airport's Kastrup train station by the end of rush hour on Monday after Sweden's new ID rules came into force at midnight.But some, including international tourists and Swedish citizens, were denied entry after Danish rail operator DSB – which has been tasked with carrying out the checks – refused to accept their IDs.
“One security guard did not let travellers through and then another one did. Some French students in Sweden and people with Swedish residence permits were not allowed in,” Centre Party councillor Niels Paarup-Petersen, who is campaigning against the checks, told the TT newswire.
