Hammarby Depot

Hammarby Depot (Hammarbydepån or Hammarbyhallen) is a depot for subway trains of Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, located in Johanneshov, Stockholm Municipality. Hammarbydepån is connected to Skärmarbrink metro station. Hammarbydepån started operations in the 1940s when SS moved their workshop from Råsunda to Hammarby. Hammarbydepån became a workshop/depot for the south part of the green metroline when the 1st metro between Hökarängen and Slussen opened in 1950, but even Högdalsdepån is a workshop for this part of the Stockholm Metro since 1957.

The current main depot building is being demolished in favor of a new building, to accommodate activity being moved from Slakthusområdet.^[1]
