History

Huddinge station was established in 1860 as part of the Western Main Line between Stockholm Södra and Södertälje. ^[2] The station's construction was initiated by Pehr Pettersson, then-owner of nearby manor Fullersta Gård, who donated land to Swedish State Railways (SJ) under the condition that a station would be built nearby. ^[3]

Initially, the station featured separate northbound and southbound platforms extending in opposite directions from the original 1860 station building. This unique layout was replaced in 1986 with a single platform and a new station structure integrated with an underground passage with artwork. ^[4] The old station building was demolished during this renovation.

In 1980, the old Huddinge station building was featured in the political thriller To Be a Millionaire , starring Gösta Ekman, Björn Gustafson, and Allan Edwall. The film's climactic scene took place on the station platform and inside the historic station building.
