Stockholms södra, railway station in Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm Södra is an underground railway station in the Södermalm district with two platforms and four tracks running beneath a residential neighborhood. The facility was completely renewed in the 1980s and equipped with elevators and escalators to provide easy access to the platforms.
The station opened in 1860 as Stockholm's first railway facility and served trains from the south and west. In 1871, Stockholm Central Station opened, which changed traffic patterns in the city and reshaped the role of this southern terminal.
The name Södra refers to the southern location of this railway hub in Stockholm. Today it serves as a daily gathering point where commuters and visitors pass through, experiencing the rhythm of urban life in the southern part of the city.
The station is easily reached from the metro stations Mariatorget and Medborgarplatsen and offers good connections to other forms of transport. There are shops, information displays, and service areas that make waiting for trains comfortable.
For the first time in Sweden, a railway station was built underneath a residential area, with tracks laid on elastic mats to reduce noise and vibrations for residents above. Citybanan, a tunnel that opened in 2017, now allows trains to travel more directly through the city.
