Chamartín metro station
Line 1 and Line 10 · Zone A · Chamartín
Chamartín station
The platforms of today’s Line 10 opened on 10 June 1982 as part of the old Line 8. Between 2004 and 2006 the station underwent a major refurbishment that culminated on 30 March 2007 with the opening of the Line 1 platforms; while the works lasted, Line 10 was suspended between Plaza de Castilla and Fuencarral.
Since 2007 it has had a spacious four-level ticket hall dominated by the large art installation Cataratas de Iguazú. The platforms of the two lines are perpendicular to each other, and beside each pair there are two more platforms that are not in service, built so that further lines could pass through. In October 2018 one of them became home to a permanent exhibition for the Metro de Madrid centenary, featuring the first carriages that ran on the network. From 10 to 18 August 2024 the Fuencarral-Chamartín section was closed for the accessibility works at BegoñaES.

What is near Chamartín
The station lies beneath the Madrid-Chamartín-Clara Campoamor railway station, about 30 m away, and its great strength is the connection with Cercanías, long-distance trains and intercity buses. The ticket hall leads either to an underground passage beneath the tracks, with access to each platform after passing through the ticket gates, or to the railway station concourse and its leisure area. There is also an exit on Calle de Agustín de Foxá, with a lift.

Frequently asked questions
Next to the Line 1 and Line 10 platforms, two more platforms were built but never used, intended to let further lines pass through. Since October 2018 one of them has housed a permanent Metro de Madrid centenary exhibition with the first carriages that ran on the network.
It is a large art installation that stands out in the four-level ticket hall the station gained in 2007, after the refurbishment of 2004 to 2006 that also brought the Line 1 platforms.
