Stockholm Metro Ride – Odenplan to Fridhemsplan | 1 Elevator, 1 Escalator | Sweden | 28/08/25
Odenplan is a station on both the Green Line of the Stockholm Metro and the City Line of the Pendeltåg commuter rail network which is called Stockholm Odenplan. It is located at Odenplan in Vasastan, in central Stockholm.
The station was inaugurated on 26 October 1952 as a part of the line between Hötorget and Vällingby. It was expanded in July 2017, with the opening of the City Line that provided a dedicated north–south route for the Pendeltåg, serving Odenplan on the way. Besides the new tunnels and platforms for the City Line, new station entrances were constructed, supplementing those built for the Metro. Stockholm Odenplan commuter train station replaced Karlberg station.
The station has two underground island platforms at different levels and on different alignments, with the City Line platforms at the lower level. It has entrances on Odenplan itself, on the north side of Karlbergsvägen opposite Odenplan, at the junction of Karlbergsvägen with Västmannagatan, and at the junction of Vanadisvägen with Dalagaten. The first two entrances provide direct access to both sets of platforms, whilst the Västmannagatan entrance provides direct access to the Metro platforms and Vanadisvägen to the City Line platforms. However both sets of platforms are connected by interchange passages, so it is possible to reach any platform from any entrance. Unlike the Metro platforms, the City Line platforms have platform screen doors.
The new entrance constructed on Odenplan for the opening of the City Line consists of a rectangular building that is approximately 36 metres (118 ft) long, 8 metres (26 ft) wide and 5 metres (16 ft) high, with one long side facing Karlbergsvägen. The other long side bends gently inwards where stairwells form seats towards the square in the best sun position. The entrance building has five entrances and leads via escalators, ordinary stairs and an elevator down to the new ticket hall. Nearby is a new bicycle garage with a capacity of 350 bicycles.
Future plans include a diversion of the Roslagsbanan narrow-gauge commuter railway in tunnel from Universitetet station via Odenplan to a terminus at T-Centralen.
Fridhemsplan metro station is a station of the Stockholm metro, located in the district of Kungsholmen. The station is entirely underground and provides an interchange between the Blue and Green lines. There are two platforms for each line, about a hundred metres apart.
To the south-west of the station a tunnel between the blue and green lines provides the only connection for trains to be moved onto and off the blue line.
The green line platforms were opened on 26 October 1952 as a part of the stretch between Hötorget and Vällingby. and are around 18 m (59 ft) under the ground. The distance to Slussen is 4.9 km (3.0 mi). The second part was opened on 31 August 1975 as part the first stretch of the Blue Line between T-Centralen and Hjulsta. The trains were running via Hallonbergen and Rinkeby. The blue line platform is around 28–31 meters under the ground. The distance to Kungsträdgården is 2.1 km (1.3 mi).
Fridhemsplan will be the Northern terminus of the new Yellow Line, due to open by 2035. The new line will feature new platforms below the existing platforms, 55 meters below ground, however it will share the current station entrances at Drottningholmsvägen, Mariebergsgatan, Fleminggatan, and S:t Eriksgatan.
The Green Line has interchanges with the metro’s Red line at T-Centralen, Gamla stan and Slussen, and with the Blue line at Fridhemsplan and T-Centralen. It also has interchanges with the Pendeltåg commuter rail at Odenplan, T-Centralen and Farsta strand, with longer distance rail lines at T-Centralen, with the Tvärbanan light rail at Alvik, Gullmarsplan and Globen, with the Nockebybanan light rail at Alvik, and with the Spårväg City tram at T-Centralen. The interchange with the Saltsjöbanan commuter rail at Slussen is not in use due to reconstruction of the latter line.
The Green Line has a total of 49 stations, of which 12 are underground and 37 are above ground. Unlike the later metro lines, the underground section of the Green Line in the city centre was built in relatively shallow tunnels, and therefore the line has few of the Stockholm metro’s trademark deep-level stations hewn from the bare rock, with most of its underground stations having concrete linings.
