Hammarby depot

Hammarby Depot is a depot for maintenance of the Stockholm Metro and the infrastructure of Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, located in Söderort, Stockholm County. The Hammarby Depot is connected to Skärmarbrink metro station. The depot started operations in the 1940s when SS moved their workshop from Råsunda to Hammarby. Hammarby became a workshop/depot for the southern part of the 17, 18 and 19 lines when the 1st metro between Hökarängen and Slussen opened in 1950, but even Högdalsdepån is a workshop for this part of the Stockholm metro since 1957.
