And that's the end of the Stockholm summer on the blog. It's been a long, long journey for all of us. Writing about one hundred stations is a job in itself, but add in how interesting and beautiful the Tunnelbana is and it's a massive task. I hadn't realised, sitting at home with an Excel spreadsheet, how big it all was, and how long it would take to do, but I am so glad I did. Stockholm will now always be a very special city to me. Thank you for sticking with me over this journey and rest assured, I will soon be back on the branch lines of the West Midlands.
If your appetite has been whetted by these posts, firstly, go to Stockholm. It's ace. Secondly, consider buying the book A Guide To The Art In The Stockholm Metro by Marie Andersson. It was absolutely invaluable to me the whole trip and it features stunning photographs by Hans Ekestang. It also covers the artwork at other transport hubs in the city, like bus termini and commuter railway stations, plus a preview of the works that will go into the stations on the new extensions opening over the next few years. I got my copy from Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum (that's a link) and don't worry, I don't get any kind of kickback if you buy it from there. I just want to share the joy.
