Metro de Madrid reserves 10.6 million for maintaining its trains
The Comunidad de Madrid will allocate 10.6 million to parts for trains in the 3,000 and 8,000 series. The contract will last three years and cover trains on seven lines, with deliveries adjusted to maintenance needs.
Regular inspections will determine when each part is replaced in the trains of the 3,000 and 8,000 series. The Comunidad de Madrid will allocate 10.6 million euros for this supply to keep the trains in proper safety and accessibility conditions.
The regional Consejo de Gobierno was informed of the awarding of a three-year contract covering trains on lines 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, and 12. The parts will be used for braking systems, motors, doors, and access ramps.
Replacement will depend on what is found during inspections: faults or wear in the components.
Deliveries will be distributed over the duration of the contract and will be adjusted to the needs of the service. This way, Metro will have spare parts available when needed for maintenance tasks.
The forecast for materials was calculated based on scheduled maintenance operations and regular replacements. Consumption in recent years was also taken into account. The contract covers possible incidents and variations in kilometres travelled. Metro will have a reserve of components for unforeseen repairs.
