Västerhaninge

The station was opened in 1901. The original station building from 1901 was demolished in 1974 and replaced with a new one. As part of the double-tracking of the line between Älvsjö and Västerhaninge, a new station was built here that, among other things, permits interchange between buses and trains with no changes of level.
This is because, as the southern terminal for most of the southbound trains on this line, Västerhaninge is an important bus interchange. Numerous buses serve the surrounding communities, giving them convenient connections to the trains at Västerhaninge to provide easy access to downtown Stockholm and other parts of the region.
