We're 105 years old and we're celebrating with lots of news!
We are celebrating 105 years of Metro with several special activities, including the presentation of a limited edition of new exclusive design trainers. They have a chip on the tongue that will enable wearers to download the official metro app, a map of the network and a videogame inspired by Chamberí station and its ghosts, which they will have to try to capture along the 12 Metro lines to obtain the corresponding rewards.
For the launch of this new product, Metro wanted to collaborate with the trainer designer Tito Customs, who has based his design on the company's corporate colours and logo.
Another of the actions that Metro is undertaking to celebrate its anniversary is putting into circulation a train on line 1 on the outside of which there will be plastic strips simulating a 1919 train, the year of the birth of the underground, as if it were the first train to run on the network.
We have also launched a number of podcasts that aim to raise awareness of the illustrious people after whom some of its best-known stations are named. Through 10 episodes, the voice of Metro and dubbing actor, Javier Dotú, interviews the actors who bring to life, for example, La Latina, Chueca, Príncipe de Vergara and Lista, who tell their most important feats and biographical data.
The first episode, however, does not correspond to the name of any station, as it focuses on Antonio Palacios, the Metro architect, whose 150th birthday is being celebrated this year in order to delve into one of the most essential and important figures in the history of the underground.
