Line 7 of the Madrid Metro is a rapid transit line that originally opened on 17 July 1974. It runs between Pitis and Hospital del Henares.

History

The line has been extended multiple times. It initially ran between

Estadio Olímpico and Lacoma, with Pitis
being served by only a few trains each hour.

Beginning in 2019, all trains are expected to terminate at Pitis following the opening of Arroyofresno station, which was previously constructed, but not opened due to the ongoing construction of the surrounding developments. Arroyofresno station was finally opened on 23 March 2019.

On 4 May 2007, Line 7 was extended from Las Musas to the towns of Coslada and San Fernando. At Estadio Metropolitano, next to Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium, passengers have to change trains for Metro-Este to Coslada and San Fernando - the so-called Line 7B.

Rolling stock

Line 7A, the primary portion of the line from Pitis to Estadio Metropolitano, uses 6-car trains of class 9000. Line 7B, the extension to Hospital del Henares, uses 3-car trains of class 9000.
