Location

Liljeholmen (lit.'Lily Islet') is a station on the Red line of the Stockholm Metro, located in the city's southern district of Liljeholmen. The station functions as an interchange with the Tvärbanan tramway and a bus terminal. it is also connected to Nybodadepån, a depot for subway trains and buses, situated in the southern part of Liljeholmen. In the future, Liljeholmen will serve as an interchange station on the Metro's Yellow line, which is expected to open by 2035.[2]

The station was opened on 5 April 1964 as part of the first section of the Red line, between T-Centralen and Fruängen, with a branch to Örnsberg.[3] Originally, it was a surface-level station with two platforms and a single exit at the southern end, adjacent to the bus terminal. Since 2000, a second exit has been added in the northern part of Liljeholmen, providing direct access to the Tvärbanan tramway station. In the early 2000s, the station was renovated into an indoor facility (though still above ground) and expanded with a third platform for trains heading to Fruängen and Norsborg. The redevelopment also included a new underground bus terminal, with squares and residential buildings constructed above the station.[4]
