Slinge is an above-ground subway station in the south of the city of Rotterdam. It is part of Rotterdam Metro lines D and E. Slinge is the southern terminus of line E, while line D trains continue towards De Akkers station.

History

The station opened on 25 November 1970 as part of a one-station extension of the North-South Line (also formerly called Erasmus line). It improved the accessibility of Pendrecht. [1] It has two platforms and three running tracks; the inner track is only used by trains terminating at Slinge, while the other trains use the outer two tracks.
