Norrviken is a station on Stockholm's commuter rail network, located 16.9 km north of Stockholm Central Station in the Norrviken district of Sollentuna Municipality. The station consists of a single island platform with a ticket hall at the southern end, accessible via an underground pedestrian tunnel. As of 2015, the station had approximately 2,000 boardings per weekday.[1]

History

[edit]

The station was originally constructed as a local train stop on the Northern Main Line (now part of the Ostkustbanan) following an agreement between SJ and AB Norrvikens Villastad. It was opened on May 1, 1907.

A red-brick station building was constructed in 1955, but it was demolished in 1993 when the Ostkustbanan railway was expanded to four tracks.
