Madrid Chamartín railway station

The Estación de Madrid-Chamartín Clara Campoamor[2] or Madrid Chamartín is the second major railway station in Madrid, Spain. Located on the northern side of the city, it was built between 1970 and 1975, but more work was carried on into the early 1980s. It then superseded Atocha station, which is closer to the city centre. After Atocha itself was rebuilt in 1992, Chamartín lost much of its importance even though since 2004, it has undergone changes to accommodate the new high-speed line to León.

Upper levels of the Chamartín Metro station

Metro Station

The Chamartín metro station serves Line 1 and Line 10, and is located directly below the railway station, accessible by a short sheltered outdoor passage.[3][4] It has four levels: two mezzanines, and two track levels, with mezzanines between track levels. The upper mezzanine has a few shops and fare gates to enter the station proper, and is connected to the exit. The lower mezzanine currently serves as a way for riders to change direction on either line. The upper track level supports Line 10, while the lower track level supports Line 1, and each track level has an extra trench for two more tracks. These trenches are planned to carry Line 11 and Line 14 in the future.
