Today, 27 January, the Community of Madrid has begun installing the first platform screen doors on Line 6 at Legazpi station, as part of the process that will turn this line into the first fully automated line on the network.
During a visit by the Regional Minister for Housing, Transport and Infrastructure, Jorge Rodrigo Domínguez, to Arganzuela-Planetario station — a station built by COMSA that continues to be a key part of the Madrid Metro network — this new phase of the works was announced.
COMSA and COMSA Industrial, in a joint venture with Faiveley Transport, are taking part in this transformation through the installation of platform screen doors on the 70 platforms along Line 6. This action will help strengthen safety, improve service regularity and increase the capacity of an infrastructure used by more than 430,000 passengers every day.
The works will be carried out at night in order to minimise any impact on the service and to continue moving towards a safer, more efficient and more modern public transport system.
