Top > HISTORY 80'
Five new stations opened in the 1980s. All of them are cave stations
and four are what are known as "trumpet stations".
A trumpet station has just one entrance and a shape that gradually gets narrower.
The stations have three escalators and one lift.
Although this means that one end of the station is wide, the other end can be
considerably narrower. This avoids the need for a load-bearing central wall
between the platforms, allowing the entire station to become single, open,
trumpet-shaped space.
In the 1980s too, the artists were involved at an early stage and worked in close
cooperation with architects and engineers to create holistic environments.
Stations include Huvudsta, Vreten, Duvbo, Rissne.

The station Sundbybergs centrum was built in the 1980s, but designed
in the same way as the 1970s, with two entrances and a load-bearing central wall.
During the 1980s some of the 1950s stations also gained new art.
Stations include Rådmansgatan, Bandhagen, Blackeberg.
