[edit] Ridership
Does anybody know the ridership of the system and the individual lines? Lee Haber 04:47, 06 Aug 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unusually deep
I was just there in Dec of 05 and I though they were very deep compared to other subways (Boston,London, Montreal,Washington), is this significant. Were they designed that way as blast shelters?Tjb891 03:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe, but it could also be because of all the underground car parks and the sewer system - Madrid has no river to dump everything in so needs more sewerage than most western cities.
- Also, there's nothing on this article about the new station under construction between colombia and mar de cristal on line 8. I only saw it briefly, called pino del rey or something similar... anyone know? Proto::type 22:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ghost stations
Isn't there another ghost station between Avenida de la Ilustración and Lacoma, or Lacoma and Pitis? At the very least, there is a perfectly workable station, which isn't being used because there is a huge gitano camp nearby, or so I heard. I passed it once, and I believe it was called Arroyofresno. I don't know if that could be called a ghost station, but isn't it worth mentioning in the article? Does anyone know more about it? Raystorm 11:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

- Why take away the info on the ghost stations? I thought it was pretty interesting, even if it was anecdotic. It could be put in a trivia section. Please put it back? Raystorm 23:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
