Train circulation on Line 3 of the Madrid subway system was affected throughout Monday morning, May 18. Since 09:30 AM, Metro de Madrid has been forced to suspend service on several points of the yellow line. The cause of this interruption was the need to provide medical assistance within the facilities, which has paralyzed a key section of the network.

The service stoppage occurred in both directions of travel, directly impacting three consecutive stops: Legazpi, Almendrales, and Hospital 12 de Octubre. The company initially reported that resolving the issue would take about 30 minutes, but the complexity of the medical intervention required extending the estimated closure time to over an hour.

At 10:52 AM, Metro de Madrid updated the information, confirming that the tracks remained blocked between Legazpi and the hospital center. Travelers were warned that the resumption of service would be postponed by at least another 30 minutes from that time. Affected passengers are advised to use alternative surface transportation, such as EMT bus lines covering the Avenida de Córdoba axis, to avoid travel delays.
