Hornstull was opened on 5 April 1964.

A northbound train on line 24 (for Mörby centrum) leaving
Hornstull.

The same northbound train as it leaves the station behind.
Notice the shape of the ceiling; the tunnel opening, which you
can't see here, echoes the curve of the ceiling. These
are very typical of the 1960s stations on the tunnelbana. The
1950s stations, like Hötorget,
tend to be more boxlike, while 1970s and 1980s stations like
Duvbo have uncovered rock walls and
are more cavelike.

The station name is part of the artwork on the track wall. I
think this is a pleasant variation on the usual track wall
signs.

Here are two views of an empty train passing Hornstull without
stopping (that's why the train's a bit blurry).
