Ropsten metro station


Ropsten is the end station on Line 13 of the Red line of the Stockholm Metro, located in the district of Ropsten. The station was opened on 2 September 1967 as the northeastern terminus of the extension from Östermalmstorg.
The station was built about 10–15 metres above street level, done so as a preparation for an extension to Lidingö on a new bridge. However, there are now no plans for such an extension and the lines end in mid-air. In the 2010s when the old Lidingö bridge used by trams was considered needing a replacement, such a metro bridge was considered, but instead a new tram bridge was built.
The Ropsten station also includes the end stop on the Lidingöbanan tramway, a few metres above the street.
On street level there are many bus stops for buses towards Lidingö.
