Alvik metro station is a station on the
Alvik station has tracks on two levels, both above ground. The higher level has two island platforms aligned east-west and serving four tracks. The outer pair of tracks are through tracks used by metro trains, whilst the inner pair of tracks are used to terminate Nockebybanan trams, thus providing cross-platform interchange between the Nockebybanan and metro. The lower level, which is at street level, has a pair of side platforms, aligned north-south and just to the west of the higher level platforms, which are used by trams on the Tvärbanan.[3][4]
At the west end of the station, a complex set of elevated tracks ensures that metro trains and trams on both lines are segregated from each other. The metro and the Nockeby tramway are also connected by shared tracks (electrified with both third rail and overhead lines) to the nearby Brommadepån tram depot. Metro trains terminating at Alvik use reversing tracks within the depot to switch between westbound and eastbound metro platforms. A curved tunnel also connects the depot to the lower Tvärbanan tracks, thus allow stock interchange between the two tram lines.[3][4]
History
The site of Alvik station was situated on the
On 26 October 1952, the first northern stretch of the metro opened between Hötorget and Vällingby, including Alvik station. This made use of both the Ängbybanan alignment to the west of Alvik, and the former tram tracks across the Tranebergsbron to the east. The Nockebybanan remained operated by trams, but the conversion of the Tranebergsbron tracks meant it was truncated at Alvik and cut off from the rest of the Stockholm tramway network, so Alvik station was designed to provide cross-platform interchange between Nockebybanan trams and metro trains.[2][5]
