Stockholm's subway is going to see some significant expansions soon. First is a major extension of the Blue line and a small new branch to the Green line. Those are pretty much all decided and funded. No construction yet though. After that it's looking like there'll be a new line that'll have a connection to the Red line i.e. some trains will run partly on one the the Red branches.
Map of current network plus the new Blue line bits in a lighter shade of blue and the new branch of the Green line in yellow (since they're still using the Yellow Line bullsh!t PR stunt name).
Note that the dark blue bit in the south is a currently existing Green branch that will be transferred to being on the Blue line. Two stations (Globen & Enskede Gård) will be closed and replaced by one new one (Slakthusområdet). This transfer of a branch from the Green to the Blue line has been part of long-term plans for decades and is finally happening. It'll make the Green line run better (two branches will be easier to run reliably than three) and give the new bit of the Blue line many instant passengers. I live on this branch and am looking forward to it since it'll mean more frequent service and more even intervals between trains.
The small new bit of Blue line in the north is to serve a new district under construction on an old airbase as well as to connect to the commuter rail at Barkarby Station.
The Yellow branch of the Green line will be a western branch, i.e. the tracks will branch of westwards before turning north, so trains can not run from that new branch to the existing western part of the line. The map is actually incorrect here: there'll be one more station on this branch. Between Hagastaden and Arenastaden there'll be a station Hagalund. A station that makes the branch almost worth it IMO.
