Looks like a big circular, with an interchange with Line 10 at Los Castillos, as well as interchanges to the C-4 and C-5 Cercan�as trains in places like Getafe Fuenlabrada, Mostoles, Alcorcon, etc.

What Paul said is correct. It also goes through the significant municipality of Legan�s. It looks pretty cool and will no doubt help get people closer by 'my neck of the woods' as I live out this direction.

It's kind of a bummer that it doesn't connect with Villaviciosa de Od�n. We're smaller than M�stoles and Alcorc�n, but still a good sized community (pushing 20,000 more or less).

It is a circular line Jenny, but it's 'circle' runs outside of the Metro system itself and only services the Southwestern region of Madrid, but as jer said, it effects a pretty big part of the city's population (about a million...)

It should be a pretty good thing in the long run though.


poseso.... Tony

Thanx for the info boys!!! I'm only familiar with the Alcala suburbs, so thanks for clearing all that up! Sounds like it will be well used! -Joy

Jer,

I really do have to agree with you that the METRO keeps surprising us. I can't wait to see what the next project will be. You know that they also have something else in the works.

I love public transportation in Madrid. It is the BEST.

Finally, the MoFo Metro Sur will be open!!! Big Grin They said Feb, then March, and I work in Alcorcon (aka end of earth) and I will so happy when it opens!!I, along with Jer, will be riding around in circles (jejeje) the day it opens!

HI ALL,

I am glad that it did open on time. I can't wait to ride it and see the HUSTLE and BUSTLE of Getafe, with its glowing nightlife.
