Note: Some northbound trains turn back at Odenplan or Hötorget, especially when the summer timetable is in effect (mid-June to mid-August), and those trains do not serve Fridhemsplan.
The Tub1 station was opened on 26 October 1952.

A
train of C20 stock departs Fridhemsplan southbound. Notice the
curvature of the track. The tunnelbana originally used guards
to monitor boarding and alighting, and to close the doors. Now,
stations with curved platforms have been fitted with closed-circuit
monitors at all stopping points, to allow one-man operation.
There are no longer any guards in the system.

Another
view of the northbound platform at Fridhemsplan (Tub1). This
view is looking timetable south. Again, notice the sharp curve
of the platform.

The same train as in the previous
photo, about to come to a stop in the station.
The Tub3 station was opened on 31 August 1975.
The Tub3 station at Fridhemsplan was built long after the Tub1 station, and is completely different in design. Among other things, the Tub3 platforms here, as in all the Tub3 stations, are completely straight because Tub3 was designed and built after it became clear that it would be necessary to convert completely to one-person operation in the tunnelbana.

This
photo shows the new signage that's being introduced on Connex's
initiative. In my opinion, quite an improvement over the
soulless crapola that SL had been putting into the stations since the
mid-1980s (see the last picture on the page about Odenplan
for an example).

This photo gives some idea of how
the Tub3 station looks and feels. It's a fairly typical Tub3
station, more like a cave than a building. Many people complain
that the lighting is inadequate in the Tub3 stations (and it is in
many of them).
