Line 2 of the Madrid Metro is a rapid transit line in Madrid. It first opened on 11 June 1924 and originally ran between Sol and Ventas stations.

History

Line 2 was extended from Sol to Quevedo on 27 December 1925, and then further to Cuatro Caminos on 1 September 1929.

In 1932, a branch from Goya to Diego de León was added, though this branch was transferred to Line 4 in 1958. In 1964 the line was extended from Ventas to Ciudad Lineal, though this too was transferred, to Line 5 in 1970. Later, Canal was added as an infill station between Quevedo and Cuatro Caminos to provide interchange with the extended Line 7 on 16 October 1998.

On 16 February 2007 the line was extended from Ventas to La Elipa, with the intention of providing an interchange with Line 11 in the future. Additionally, Line 2 was extended past La Elipa to Las Rosas on 16 March 2011.

From 2013-2016, the line was called Línea 2 Vodafone due to a sponsorship by Vodafone.^[1]

The Sevilla station was temporarily closed in 2019 due for improvements and maintenance.

Rolling stock

Line 2 has used four-car trains of CAF class 3400 since the summer 2007.
