Príncipe Pío

The current station name Príncipe Pío was chosen for the rebuilt station when it was re-opened in 1995. Originally known as Estación del Norte all long-distance services from the north of Spain were diverted to a new station at Chamartin in 1967. Nowadays Príncipe Pío station is a terminus for commuter trains and has a single through line (centre left of photo) which runs on a bridge (see image 72223) then goes into a tunnel running under the city to Atocha; below all of these run Metro Madrid lines 6 and 10. The area on the left of shot is commercial space with restaurants and shops under the old train shed.
