Opened on 15 August 1994.
Skarpnäck is the newest station in the tunnelbana, along with the
new station at Bagarmossen opened on the
same day in 1994, but the new Bagarmossen station replaced an earlier
surface station from 1958.
Skarpnäck station is decorated with granite benches and a red
tiled floor. The red color dominates the station, as you'll see in the
pictures below.

Two trains of C20 (new) stock on the tracks at Skarpnäck. Since
this is the terminus of line 17, often one train arrives before the
preceding train has left.
