INSTALLATION OF ATP (AUTOMATIC PROTECTION OF TRAINS ON LINES 1, 2, 3 AND 10 OF THE MADRID METRO
Work: 1984/90
The ATP is a system that allows automatic supervision of train progress, establishing maximum speed levels for each of them. Exceeding these speeds by a given train motivates its immediate stop.
For this reason, that is, to prevent a human error from having serious consequences, this system was implemented on all lines of the network, having been completed in 1990.

PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATION AND COMPLEMENTARY PROTECTION IN ELECTRICAL SUBSTATIONS OF THE MADRID METRO
Work: 1988/90
In order to minimize the service recovery time, after a disturbance in the electrical supply to the rolling stock, it was necessary to equip the substations with a series of automatic equipment that replenished the energy without intervention from the central post.
VENTILATION OF LINE 3 OF THE MADRID METROPOLITAN RAILWAY
VENTILATION OF LINE 1 OF THE MADRID METROPOLITAN RAILWAY

Likewise, the installation and programming of the remote control system were modified.
SUPPLY OF AUTOMATIC PASSENGER CONTROL MACHINES
Work: 1988/90
With the aim of extending automatic passenger control, the Metro network was equipped with 100 new turnstiles, 29 control desks, 29 end chests and the necessary spare parts.
REFORM OF THE TRACK AND OVERHEAD LINE ON LINES 3 AND 6 TO IMPROVE INTERVALS
Work: 1988/89
The reduction of the intervals between trains was achieved by replacing the existing simple diagonals in the cul-de-sac with double diagonals and with the corresponding modification of the overhead line. This allows for faster maneuvering of trains at the head of the line.
