Stuvsta railway station

Stuvsta is a station on Stockholm's commuter rail network, located 11.5 km south of Stockholm Central Station in the Stuvsta-Snättringe district of Huddinge Municipality. The station consists of a single island platform with a ticket hall located on the platform and entrance through an underground pedestrian tunnel. The outer tracks are used for other train traffic. The current station was completed in 1986. As of 2015, the station had approximately 3,300 boardings per weekday.

History

The station was originally opened in 1918 as a local stop along the Western Main Line after a residential area started developing. The "Stufstabolaget" local development company financed the station's construction and later transferred ownership to Swedish State Railways (SJ), a common practice for suburban stops in the Stockholm area. The first station building, designed by Folke Zetterwall and completed in 1917-1918, still exists today but serves other purposes such as community activities. A new station building was constructed in 1958 but was demolished in the 1980s when the railway was expanded to four tracks.
