The Line 9 (span. Línea 9 , shortly L-9) is a metro -line of the Metro Madrid . It leads from Paco de Lucía to Arganda del Rey and comprises 29 stations. At 39.5 kilometers, it is the longest line in the route network, apart from the L-12 ; the average station distance is 1.4 kilometers. The L-9 is part of the metro's large profile network and the length of the stations is 115 meters. You can change to other metro lines at six stations, and at two stations to the Cercanías suburban railway .

In contrast to the rest of the line, the 18 km long section between Puerta de Arganda and Arganda del Rey is above ground, follows the route of a former freight railway line and has only three intermediate stations. On the above-ground section of the route, the maximum speed of the trains is 110 km / h instead of the usual 80 km / h.

Due to the lower number of passengers, the route will be operationally separated at the city limits in Puerta de Arganda . Outside of Madrid, trains run more frequently, and they only have three cars. Passengers who want to go further into the city center must temporarily change there until demand justifies continuous operation. The overland route is owned by Transportes Ferroviarios de Madrid , in which the metro company and several construction groups are involved; it will become the property of the Autonomous Community of Madrid when the concession expires in 2028 .

history

The first section between Sainz de Baranda and Pavones was opened on January 31, 1980. With the section Herrera Oria - Plaza de Castilla , the network of the Madrid Metro reached a length of 100 kilometers on June 3, 1983. On December 30 of the same year, the extension to Avenida de América followed .

The middle section between Avenida de América and Sainz de Baranda was still missing , which is why the northern section was operated as line 9B for a little over two years. The gap that enabled continuous operation took place on February 25, 1986.

On December 1, 1998, the line was extended beyond Pavones to Puerta de Arganda . On April 7, 1999, the Madrid Metro crossed the city limits for the first time with the overground extension of the L-9 to Arganda del Rey . The Rivas Futura station was opened on July 11, 2008 . This is located between the stations Rivas Vaciamadrid and Rivas Urbanizaciones .

In the northern extension, the line from Herrera Oria to Mirasierra was opened on March 28, 2011 . The next station in the northern extension opened on March 25, 2015, exactly 13 months after the death of the guitarist Paco de Lucía . It is named after him and designed as a large mural with his portrait.
