The interruption, which began at 10:05 AM, affects four stations in both directions: Nueva Numancia, Portazgo, Buenos Aires, and Alto del Arenal. Although the closure is limited to this segment, the rest of Line 1 is experiencing significant delays in its journeys.
“"This disruption was due to a 'medical emergency,' with no further explanations provided, and an 'estimated solution time of more than 30 minutes' was given."
As of 10:45 AM, the service remained suspended, exceeding the initial estimated resolution time. Line 1, inaugurated in 1919 by Alfonso XIII, is the oldest metro line in Madrid and Spain, and the second busiest in the Metro de Madrid network.
This line connects the north and southeast of the city, running between Pinar de Chamartín and Valdecarros, with a total of 33 stations. Its journey, lasting approximately one hour, connects key areas such as Bravo Murillo-Santa Engracia and Ciudad de Barcelona-Albufera, covering districts like Chamberí, Tetuán, Retiro, Puente de Vallecas, and Villa de Vallecas, as well as a large part of the city center.
