History
Line 2 was extended from Sol to Quevedo on 27 December 1925, and then further to Cuatro Caminos on 1 September 1929.
In 1932, a branch from Goya to Diego de León was added, though this branch was transferred to Line 4 in 1958. In 1964 the line was extended from Ventas to Ciudad Lineal, though this too was transferred, to Line 5 in 1970. Later, Canal was added as an infill station between Quevedo and Cuatro Caminos to provide interchange with the extended Line 7 on 16 October 1998.
On 16 February 2007 the line was extended from Ventas to La Elipa, with the intention of providing an interchange with Line 11 in the future. Additionally, Line 2 was extended past La Elipa to Las Rosas.
From 2013-2016, the line was called Línea 2 Vodafone due to a sponsorship by Vodafone. [1]
The Sevilla station was temprarily closed in 2019 due for improvements and maintenance.
Rolling stock
Line 2 has used four-car trains of CAF class 3400 since the summer 2007.
