THE "SERIES 5000" ROLLING STOCK FOR THE MADRID METRO
LE MATERIEL ROULANT SERIES 5000 DU METRO DE MADRID
To cope with increasing passenger traffic in a satisfactory manner, the MADRID Metro has recently purchased 65 two-car trainsets giving higher capacity, improved comfort, greater reliability and lower maintenance costs. These steel-constructed two-car trainsets weigh 64 t. They operate on a 600 V d.c. supply, can reach 90 km/h and are powered by four 210 kW monomotor bogies. The soundproofing and temperature control installations in the coaches are particularly well designed. The door-operating equipment is pneumatic. The underframes are of welded steel plate construction and the motors are fully suspended. Electric-pneumatic brakes are fitted. These trains have automatic driving and state of line display equipment.
