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.[4][5] 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.[6]
