Location

Gullmarsplan is the busiest metro station in Söderort with 39,600 boarding passengers per day in 2018.[1]

A new platform for the Blue line will be added to Gullmarsplan station, as part of the project to transfer the Hagsätra branch of the Green line to the Blue line. It will be situated underground 70 metres (230 ft) below the existing Green line platforms, and will therefore only be linked to the existing station by lifts (no escalators). The new platform will also have an exit (with escalators and lifts) to Mårtensdal in Hammarby sjöstad.[3] Opening is planned for 2030.[4]
