Location

Hemfosa is a station on Stockholm's commuter rail network, located in Haninge Municipality on the Nynäs Line. It is the least-used station in the entire commuter rail system, with approximately 150 boardings per weekday as of 2021.[1] During the 1990s, the station was under threat of closure due to low passenger numbers.

History

The station was originally opened in 1901.[2] The station building was converted into a residential house in 1963 and was later designated as a heritage-listed (q-märkt) building.[3] However, the building suffered an interior fire on the night of March 17, 2023, with the cause remaining unclear.[4]

Public transport connections

Hemfosa is, along with Krigslida, one of two stations on Stockholm's commuter rail network that lacks connections to other public transport services.
