Opened on 31 August 1975.
Solna centrum is one of my favorite stations, because of the striking cadmium red color that dominates it. The artwork in the station depicts the environmental and social problems that Sweden was grappling with in the 1970s.
The station serves Solna centrum, which includes housing, shopping and services, including the city of Solna's municipal administration. Another important destination served by this station is Råsunda football (soccer) stadium.

This
shot provides a better example of the subject matter treated in the
station. Environmental concerns were prominent in the minds of
the artists. This view also illustrates how the track-wall
station name signs detract from the artwork, which I believe is one
reason why they were omitted from two of the last Tub3 stations
built, Duvbo and Rissne.

I
snapped this picture to illustrate the boards used to mark stopping
points in the tunnelbana. The black-on-white number refers to
the number of cars in a train of C20 (newer) stock; the
black-on-yellow number, to the number of cars in a train of Cx
(older) stock.
