The Lidingö Line starts at Ropsten metro station in Stockholm. It crosses the Lilla Lidingö Bridge over to Lidingö, which is its own town. It then heads south past AGA, Käppala, and finally reaches Gåshaga Brygga. We are standing at Ropsten, and far beyond, a tram is coming from Lidingö. To the right is the high-level road bridge for cars, and between them is the old Lidingö Bridge, which is being demolished. It was filmed on May 26, 2024, the opening day for trams on the new Lilla Lidingö Bridge. The old Lidingö Bridge was built in 1925; before that, there were several floating bridges. The four-section tram, designated as A36, is 39.5 meters long and has 100 seats. This is what it looks like at the stop in Ropsten when a tram arrives to turn around. The speaker: - To Gåshaga brygga. The water between Lidingö and Stockholm, part of the Baltic Sea, is called Lilla Värtan. The area to the right in Stockholm is called Värtahamnen. Speaker: - Next Torsvik. Many parts of the Lidingö Line are single track; Torsvik is one of the stations where trains meet. We continue with the next tram from Torsvik. The view over Lilla Värtan is beautiful; on the other side, Silja Line has a terminal for Finnish ferries. We are approaching AGA, a large industry that played a major role in building the Lidingö Line. The Lidingö Line depot is also here. We have gotten off and are looking at the depot from a distance. We leave AGA and continue. Speaker: - Next Högberga. The signal at the end of the platform shows red. On the meeting track in Högberga, trams pass each other. The signal turns green when the other tram has passed and the switch has been changed. Then it turns red again when the tram departs for its route. This tram continues toward Ropsten. We pass Käppalaverket, a sewage treatment plant. Speaker: - Next Gåshaga bridge, last stop. Thank you for coming here. Finally, we will look out over the inlet to Stockholm. On the other side is Nacka.By See Stockholm around - .
A36 Lidingöbanan Skärsätra-Käppala (2019)On All Saints' Day, I offer a lovely twilight journey on the model A36 tram from Skärsätra to Käppala on the Lidingöbanan.By Train Jacob Sweden - .

The new Lidingö Line from the inside (2015)Follow two of Stockholm's Spårvägar employees as they share their impressions, experiences, and knowledge of the new Lidingö Line, which reopened on October 24, 2015.
There are many laps at the end, but it's always different every day, I would say, because the weather is always changing. You constantly meet other people who ride with us. Most people who live out here commute daily, so you get to know some of them. Different things can also happen on the track. It's a small company, so the atmosphere among colleagues and managers is charming, and there's always a good vibe when you come to work. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting all the travelers, from ordinary people just on their way to and from work to those heading to meet friends or tourists visiting local attractions. To start the cart, we must activate the alcohol lock, which requires approval before proceeding. This safety feature is designed to protect both our staff and travelers.
Many travelers appreciate the service and treatment they receive; we hear about it, and that's the best part of the job - knowing you're doing a good job and making a positive impact. I often think about how I would drive the tram myself. I don't usually daydream, but I focus on driving as well as I can and challenge myself to give passengers the best experience possible. I also try to add a little extra, like wishing people a nice day. It really helps if there are delays on the track and you have to catch up with the schedule. It can be a positive type of stress that motivates you to stay upbeat and work with the traffic route, especially if you need to turn somewhere. Sometimes I get stressed at work when there are many people, feeling as if I'm alone on the tram. For example, over 100 people may board at Ropsten, and I need to check all of them before the first stop. That can be a little stressful, but then I remind myself to handle the situation professionally and not let it get out of control. It often happens that people stop, the tram keeps the door open, and a friend might be waiting inside, which feels like a minor inconvenience. Many probably think that's just 30 seconds, and we can wait, but 30 seconds easily stretches to a minute, and a minute to two, and then delays ripple through the entire line. All the vehicles end up leaving a minute or two behind schedule.
My favorite town would probably be Gåshaga Bridge. It's always lovely to visit. It's very nice by the water, with a relaxed, peaceful vibe. It’s especially great when you have ten minutes to spare. This afternoon, it’s perfect as I head down from the Baggeby stop. I can drive at 80 km/h, which is the top speed. As you pass along the mountainside, the water opens up, and you see the bridge, offering a stunning view as you drive quickly. It’s a great combination. Usually, when I'm about to finish my last shift for the day, it catches me by surprise when I look at the clock and realize, "Oh, I'm stopping now. I hadn't thought about it.” Most days go smoothly, and I enjoy my work. I love it so much that I don't want to think about finally quitting, but I know there's more. Yeah, I'm stopping now. Eh, okay. It feels great. Have a good time at work, you.By Thomas Lange - .

Okay, next, Talent's up, and Station C is ready. Then A and Comang's C. Cut separately. Next, Honor C. Thanks, or yes, documents. Is it good now? Last, photographed. Relax now. Saw and photographed it. It says VA, and yes. Can I still order? Not sure what to order. Motorv—they need rejection of new contacts. Bromma PR wasn't managed, so long ago. Should use the pin, takes speed—48 or 52 seats, like an old subway.
Yes, that's how it is. The lines have stretched across many on the Ring line, with none along the line. To clarify, yes, Ärk does, with only 200 trains running now. You can go through Berg's end, where the voltage drops and F-Man stands. There are many pictures; they must be placed here. Just go down a bit on the hill to the intersection, starting and ending at STE M Municipal. They are kå, with track and J seen here; 2 SK l h. I understand; that's why I was PR dad. Now, Dad, it's coming. I'm waiting at a sweet place, filming at St. St. There are two F's to follow instructions. We're waiting for the next two.
Yes, you're coming now. You can't drive on the beeping road, waiting for the green. I'll press a button in Gothenburg, but it didn't work. I need to stand here, try to get a good drive, and change the road. Drive again; my lady is better now. The Jär Södra Ban was fixed; the Norra Ban turned off at the bridge. This is a direct VAG route. I jumped at the last second, took a lucky last-minute chance. Drive, even if it doesn't look hopeful. The way back is excellent. The camera battery is off; I’ll find the right person. Drive here with automatic controls, except SK. We'll see. Switch Li. Meet on the way.
Yes, the switch is off if that's the case. Please do it. Excuse me. Yes, it is BL seats here, LED, so that it could be good here. Meet on V Way. Petrus, do you have a stamp for both of them? Or a new one. It says 'posted' and 'Southern Liding.' The track, no, I don't know if they had the original. Did anyone want to get off here? It looks that way, but it's nice. They had other mailboxes before the post office came and collected them. Did you have special emptiers that are now empty? It's underway, departing from the AG station via NV, heading northeast. K drives, see? RK should drive now, like V and Rusta up B St. The new Green Skärsätra came in January 1915. It’s longer, with a new stop at Särä in 2000. Is there a sign of something here? Seems like it. Drive now. K, H, drive a little; much has changed with K, ST, and Kart drives. I talk a lot. V was one of the cities, along with Gans, in the 1900s, where people would queue for animals. In Brevik, some properties are more notable, such as the factory in Aga and Gåshaga. Now, no one goes at all.
There was no one like Jade today, which was very strange. We thought testing the new lines would be good, but the V drive was not available. We arrived at Kar station, a busy area from the 1960s and 1970s, with approximately 1,100 daily boardings. The track joint is for the primary signal. Erik was worried because the train drove up to the railing yesterday, possibly due to the first, shorter axle. He was very concerned, especially about derailment. Someone mentioned not to say no to a wagon, and there was talk of a stop in Talludden. The boom has gone to VK, but that's W.By All the Elevators! - By SummerADDE - - .
