The network currently has 456 series 3000 carriages.
The body of the series 3000 units is made of aluminium, including the chassis, and they have
three doors on each side for passenger access/exit. These carriages have an interconnecting
passageway, for a composition of four or six carriages, depending on the sub-series, which are
fully interconnected inside.
The series 3000 units all have air-conditioning and heating and auxiliary systems control
equipment, equipment to record safety parameters during operation, and a passenger information
system. They also have a video-surveillance system, systems for fire detection and extinction using
water mist, as well as a public address system and radiotelephony. Likewise they are equipped with
train protection systems (ATP and ATO).
One of the most interesting novelties of the series 3000 carriages (as in the series 9000) is
that they have been adapted to provide total accessibility, with the following systems:
-Folding ramps to provide access to wheelchairs on the doors, on both sides, closest to the
drivers cabin.
-Automatic opening, in all cases, of the doors with ramps, which unfold automatically.
-Space reserved for wheelchairs, signposted and equipped with safety belt.
-Automatic opening, in all cases, of the other doors of the first carriage, to facilitate
access to persons with sight problems.
-Optical and acoustic signals indicating that the doors are open, to permit easier location
by persons with sight problems.
-All doors have contrasting colours to the colours around them
-Interior colour contrasts (doors, seats, handrails, etc.).
The series 3000 carriages came into service for passengers on Lines 2, 3, 4 and 11.
