Enjoy!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website live from T-CentralenEver wondered what a guided tour at the Subway Central (T-Centralen) would sound like? Well, neither had I. But here they are, all the familiar subway sounds from the perspective of a moving elevator. Do step inside for a minute!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website the sound of SL CenterWherever you're heading by public transportation in Stockholm, whenever you need to travel, whatever question you have - SL Center is there for you.

This piece of bad news is delivered by a pleasant voice at Centralen.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website elevator in painThis is a painful mechanical mishap. Something's very wrong with this elevator door which tries again and again to close and then changes its mind to open once more. It all takes place at T-centralen subway station and becomes almost surreal when a voice in the background warns "mind the doors closing" (referring to a train of course) while this door or ours clearly can't quite make it.Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website talking christmas tree at centralenThere's a talking and playing "Christmas tree" at Stockholm Central Station.

Some artificial winter before the real one sets in, I told myself in December while visiting the ice oval in the King’s Garden (KungsträdgĂĄrden). I was dead wrong. The real winter had a change of plans and traveled elsewhere this year so we’d better cherish what memories we have of snowflakes, slippery roads and – of course – ice skating in the city. Here’s another clip, enjoy!Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website blandarenThe student’s union at the Royal Institute of Technology are very much associated with creating and distributing a periodical, Blandaren (“the mixer”). Any frequent traveller of the Stockholm subway will have met guys in orange overalls selling it. Their sound is very much a logotype of the student’s union so let’s listen now to a gentleman generating demand among passers-by at the T-Centralen (“subway central”) station. Enjoy.

Same work all day long, carrying folks who are too heavy or bring loads of luggage or drop litter where they shouldn’t.

Notice how he stops playing for a second, awaiting the dropping coin…

This time to Slussen in one of the new “Vagn 2000” cars. Mind the gap!
