The Gosht Metro Station
Andén 0. Antigua Estación de Chamberí
Why locals love it
It was known by all the metro line 1 users that between Bilbao and Iglesia there was a gosht station. Children still loves to look by the window while they pass by. Now we all can visit it for free and have an idea about how the old metro stations looked like, the adds they had, and watch a video of how our metro worked those days.
Why you should visit it
It was part of the first Madrilenian subway line, opened in 1919. It had to be closed at the beginning of the 60's, because the Metro Company decide to add more wagons to their trains and it was impossible to enlarge this station. Has been closed until 2008, that has been re-opened as a museum.
Special tip
If you have used the subway it's a must to see how it has changed. Totally free and guided.
