Djurgården Line

Djurgårdslinjen is a heritage tram line with the route number 7N, running between Norrmalmstorg and Waldemarsudde in , Sweden.

The line, along with almost every other tram line in Stockholm, was withdrawn in conjunction to the switch to right-hand side traffic in 1967, but was restored as a heritage tram line in June 1991 and operated on a non-profit basis by members of the Swedish Tramway Society (Svenska Spårvägssällskapet) through its operating company AB .

The infrastructure for the heritage line was initially constructed and owned by Stiftelsen Stockholms Museispårvägar, a non-profit foundation created by the city of Stockholm and the , but it was handed over to in 2005. Ever since the line was reopened, there have been several proposals to extend the tracks to Sergels torg and , with the intention to replace current bus line 47 with modern light-rail vehicles. In the 1990s, the proposals were met with indifference by local politicians, but since the opening of Tvärbanan and with the introduction of the new Flexity Swift A32 trams, there is now majority support for an extension. The vintage trams operate from the beginning of April to the end of December, and every day between June and August. The trams used on the line are primarily from Stockholm, along with a few Gothenburg trams and some from the Oslo Tramway. The vintage of the tram cars varies from early 20th century to late 1950s. On weekends a modified trailer named "Rolling Café" is coupled to one of the motorcars on the line, where one can have a cup of coffee or tea along with some pastries whilst enjoying the scenery.

All SL fares are valid on Djurgårdslinjen, including travelcards and coupons.
