Stockholm Metro Ride - Hornstull to Slussen | 3x Elevator | Sweden | 26/08/25

Hornstull metro station is a station on the red line of the Stockholm metro, located in the district of Södermalm. The station was opened on 5 April 1964 as part of the first stretch of the Red line, between T-Centralen and Fruängen.


Slussen is a station on the Stockholm metro and Saltsjöbanan, located at Slussen in the district of Södermalm. The metro station is served by the Red and Green lines, and originally opened in 1933 as an underground tram stop, on 1 October 1950 it became the terminal of the first metro line running south to Hökarängen, it was again rebuilt when the extension of the line north to Hötorget was opened on 24 November 1957. On 5 April 1964, the first stretch of the Red line, between T-Centralen and Fruängen, was opened.

Slussen has also been the terminus for the Saltsjöbanan railway since the 1940s, however this has temporarily been moved to Henriksdal in 2016 due to the reconstruction of Slussen. Traffic will resume when the reconstruction is complete due in 2028. Just outside the northern entrance to the metro station, there is a bus terminal for buses to the Nacka and Värmdö municipalities.

In November 2017 an art exhibition by Liv Strömquist at the metro station sparked a debate about the appropriateness of showing depictions of menstruation to children.


The Red line (Swedish: Röda linjen; officially Metro 2, but called Tub 2 ("Tube 2") internally), is one of the three Stockholm Metro lines. It has a total of 36 stations, of which four are cut and cover, 16 are tunneled, and 15 are on the surface. The line is a total of 41.238 kilometres (25.624 mi) long. It consists of four branches with terminals in Fruängen and Norsborg in the southwest and Mörby center and Ropsten in the northeast.

The "Red line" designation began in the late-1970s, and officially only since the 1990s, and comes from the fact that the route has been marked in red on Storstockholms Lokaltrafik's maps at least since the 1970s. Previously, the Red line had been coloured orange on the system map, but as new maps were printed with changes, the colour became increasingly redder in the 1980s.

Route and stations
The Red line is served by two routes—lines 13 and 14—and carried 507,850 passengers per working day (2019), or approximately 128 million per year (2005).

Line 13 runs between Norsborg and Ropsten, while line 14 operates Fruängen-Mörby centrum. Regular daytime service is a 5-minute headway on line 14 between Mörby center and Liljeholmen, and 10 minutes at other times. During rush hours there is a 5-minute service between Alby and Sätra-Ropsten and also along line 14, providing a train every 2.5 minutes on the joint stretch between Östermalmstorg and Liljeholmen (i.e. 24 trains per hour).
