History

Origins

The line is the product of two lines, the former Line 8 from to Nuevos Ministerios and the former Suburbano (also known as Line S) from to , this section being named line 10 in the 1980s, and formerly operated by FEVE until the management of Line S was transferred to the Community of Madrid. In the 1990s, Madrid planned for these two lines to become one, but there was a problem in that Line 8 used wider train sets than Line S. As a remedy, Madrid decided to rebuild the Suburbano section to fit the large-profile rolling stock, a project that took five years to complete. This project removed all island platforms, widened tunnels, and modernized stations. The section between Alonso Martinez and Nuevos Ministerios was completely built, with an intermediate station at . While this project was in progress the line was extended from the new Casa de Campo station to . The former section between Casa de Campo and Aluche was transferred to Line 5, which now terminates at Casa de Campo.

On 26 April 2007, the line was extended north from Fuencarral to Hospital del Norte (Hospital Infanta Sofía as of August 2008).

The station after Fuencarral, is a transfer station between the regular line ("line 10A") and the northern extension or otherwise known as MetroNorte ("line 10B"), which is the segment from Tres Olivos to Hospital Infanta Sofía.
