A Namma Metro Purple Line train at a Bangalore station. Unlike the Fukuoka City Subway’s other two lines, Line 1 (Kuko) and Line 2 (Hakozaki), Line 3 is built to 1435mm rather than 1067mm-gauge and is entirely underground.

Construction of the extension was originally scheduled to be completed by 2020 but delays caused by a sinkhole opening up in front of JR Hakata station, and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, pushed the schedule back by three years. Ridership on the line has increased from 28,000 passengers a day to 41,000 following the opening.įukuoka: On March 27 a 1.6km extension of the Fukuoka City Subway Line 3, also known as Nanakuma Line, was opened from Tenjin-minami via Canal City to Hakata, with an intermediate station at Kushida Shrine. Lines 1 and 2 were previously operated as a single continuous route, with LRVs reversing from one line to the other at El Perchel, the interchange with Renfe suburban, mainline and high-speed services departing from the adjacent Málaga María Zambrano station. Line 1 now runs from Andalucía Tech along the single-track extension to Atarazanas, and Line 2 from Palacio de los Deportes to Guadalmedina. There is one intermediate station at Guadalmedina. Málaga: March 27 saw the opening of a 1.7km extension of the Málaga Metro light rail network, running in tunnel from El Perchel to a new terminus at Atarazanas closer to the historic city centre.
