The
station
opened
on
November
24,
1957
in
connection
with
the
commissioning
of
the
line
between
Slussen
and
Hötorget.
The
station
is
located
under
the
Clara
Church
and
Åhléns
City
department
store.
The
station
for
the
green
and
red
lines
and
connecting
tracks
was
built
by
digging
a
large
ditch
in
the
center
of
Stockholm
and
then
covering
it
with
a
concrete
roof.
However,
the
part
below
Clara's
church
is
a
blown-up
tunnel.
The
architect
was
Gunnar
Lene.
However,
the
Blue
Line
station
was
built
in
its
entirety
as
a
blown
up
tunnel
a
few
years
later.
The
station
has
platforms
on
three
different
levels.
The
two
upper
levels
are
at
a
depth
of
8.5
and
14
meters,
respectively,
and
are
served
by
green
and
red
lines.
The
upper
level
is
served
by
trains
heading
north
on
the
green
line
and
trains
heading
south
on
the
red
line,
and
vice
versa
by
plane
below.
This
solution
allows
you
to
switch
between
the
green
and
red
lines
in
opposite
directions
right
across
the
platform
without
going
up
the
stairs.
Those
looking
to
switch
between
the
red
and
green
lines
in
the
same
direction
will
make
it
more
suitable
at
Slussen
and
Gamla
stan
metro
stations,
as
they
have
separate
platforms
for
trains
going
north
and
south
respectively.
The
lower
level
is
at
a
depth
of
26–32
meters
and
is
served
by
a
blue
line.
This
part
was
commissioned
on
August
31,
1975
in
connection
with
the
opening
of
the
blue
line
and
is
connected
to
other
platforms
by
escalators,
elevators
and
an
underpass
over
100
meters
long
with
a
conveyor
belt
called
the
Blue
Corridor.
