Es un gran documento y estupendo recuerdo para los que ya tenemos una edad. Este vídeo me ha traído recuerdos de mi niñez cuándo subir al metro de aquel Madrid era para mi algo fascinante. En mi cabeza quedó para siempre aquel conjunto de sonidos tan bonitos que producían estos trenes tan auténticos. Muchísimas gracias por éste fantástico vídeo que a muchos nos sirve para viajar en el tiempo. ❤
@@Saltamontesin Thank you very much for your kind words. I’m pleased that this video has brought back happy memories for you. Certainly the great sounds made by the older trains are something I appreciated so very much also.
Thanks so much for posting this video. I visited Madrid in 1990, we had 2 nights there. Those CAF 300 (I think) were the only good thing about the place. As a Brit, i found the half glazed windows and unglazed clerestory roofs incredible. I also recall that there was holes in the seat bases, through which you could see wheels etc. The sounds of them was incredible.
Such a great video! Motor sounds remind me Melbourne's Comengs a lot. Madrid Metro is one of my top 5 in the world, good to see how it looked back in the 80s.
Oh, what a great metro history nugget! Madrid Metro is lovely and very interesting. It's very practical, and it feels so much like a brother or cousin of Paris Metro to me that I feel like home every time I ride it. The vaulted stations, the density of stops, even the smells in the 90's, probably due to the vegetable oil they used on some older rolling stock, it all feels very familiar. Plus, the driving motors sound reminds me of the venerable MF67 of Paris Metro and MS61 of the RER. Madrid Metro has grown a lot in the late 90's early 2000's if I recall correctly. A great example of well executed, perfectly cost controlled infrastructure development. They were very successful in cutting off unnecessary cost-inflating middlemen and delivered great infrastructure for a low cost. Brilliant! Back home and well, I hope?
@@tressteleg1 Done, with what I couldn't include last time like the videos about the trams that I mentioned, T9 and T10, and about the new gondola line.
Well the compressors are very much Melbourne Tait and the motors are a bit between Sydney and Melbourne. If you want to make some comparisons, check some of these but preferably with good headphones or speakers. "Sounds Only" videos ua-cam.com/play/PLLtOIHp49XNAz2Tc2I0PZZzsUYriF7zaX.html
I was on that station the other day 0:50 Walls are blue now, the labels (where name of station is written and all that) have not changed at all What i did not expect is trains being shorter... 🤔
It is surprising that some things change over all those years, but other things remain the same. From my side of the world, I could not even guess why the trains are now shorter. But here, public transport usage has gone down a fair bit in some cities because since Covid, a lot of people still work from home at least a few days each week. Maybe Madrid is the same…

Oh I miss the Madrid metro, I ride thousands of times when I was younger, my line was # 5 thanks for the video, many memories
👍😊

Qué buenos recuerdos. Y ese freno como de gas, con aquel ruido tremendo...ssshhhhhhhh

Probably they sound much closer to a Tait as both trains were quite loud.
1:17 At the time, there were above ground segments to what are now lines 5 and 10 (at the time this was shot, all of it was line 10)
@@QuarioQuario54321 Thanks for that update.

Thanks for you own reminiscences of the Madrid Metro. I’m sure it has a lot of similarities with Paris.
Home and slowly recovering thanks.
@tressteleg1 Wrote you a long one, it's sent so you should have it.

Tractions motors sound like The Red Rattlers in Sydney. Love it

Thanks Alfonso, and all thanks to your input! I will probably make it public in the week or two.
