Location

The station was sited about 10–15 meters above street level as a preparation for an extension to Lidingö on a new bridge. There are now no plans for such an extension and the lines end in mid-air. In 2010-2020 when the old Lidingö bridge used by trams was considered needing a replacement, such a metro bridge was considered, but instead a new tram bridge was built.

The Ropsten station also includes the end stop on the Lidingöbanan tramway, a few meters above the street.

On street level there are many bus stops for buses towards Lidingö.
