The section from Vejle to Give opened in 1894, the section from Give to Herning in 1914 and the section from Herning to Struer in 1904.[2]
The line is owned and maintained by Rail Net Denmark and served with intercity trains by the Danish State Railways (DSB) and regional trains by Arriva.[1]
The section from Vejle to Give opened on 2 August 1894 as the private railway Vejle–Give (Danish: 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.[2] The section from Give to Herning opened in 1914 and the section from Herning to Struer in 1904.[2]
In 2018, operation of the regional rail services on the Vejle–Holstebro line were transferred from DSB to the public transport company Arriva.[1]
The railway company Arriva runs frequent regional train services from Vejle station to Struer station.[1]
The Danish State Railways (DSB) operates four daily InterCity connections between Copenhagen and Struer.
