History

The station was opened to traffic in 1901 with the inauguration of the line. The station building, designed by architect Ferdinand Boberg,[3] is the best preserved of the Nynäs Line's original station buildings, however is no longer part of the railway,[4] and is now a private house.[5] In 2008, the station's platform was extended to accommodate full-length SL X60 trains. At the same time, a new entrance was built towards Nyblevägen in the south for a better connection to the new bus terminal, which was inaugurated at the end of 2009.
