Príncipe Pío metro and main line station, Madrid.

Príncipe Pío metro and main line station, Madrid.
A mix of old (1890s main line railway track ) and new (1990s metro station below).
I'm off for two weeks but working :o( ... Needs must ... no holiday for me this year.
I'll be teaching two groups of students in immersion courses, one week each, It's very intensive work as it is relentless teaching and conversation and as I am a very shy and retiring person I find it a struggle ;o)
I will be in a sports / spa complex in the mountains which sounds idyllic but I have my doubts ( the photos I have seen on their website look ghastly, all 70s concrete). Apparently the internet connection there isn't too good either and they have had complaints about it from companies who host business conferences there.
So I don't hold out too much hope for my keepingt up to date on ipernity, nor even having the intenet access I need for my classes!
We'll see! But maybe see you all in 2 week's time ... or tomorrow as per usual!

No me cuadran esos railes ahí, por encima y se supone que en un solo sentido. Tendrá una explicación, quizá lo han dejado como pieza de museo del original cuando lo reformarían. La fotografía está bien y es muy oportuna, solo hace falta saber su significado.

It is in use. I use it to go to a class near Delicias. It's not single track; the other track goes through the station about 50 metres to the right of this shot.
I'm sure they had this in mind as a musem piece as well as keeping functionality, and I think they did a very good job of it back in the 90s!

Many thanks, Keith! Am now back. The second group cancelled it five minutes into the course because "it wasn't what they were expecting."
There was nothing wrong with it and the other teacher and I had gone to great lengths to make sure it would be a success, but this lot didn't even give us a chance! I now have a battle on my hands to get paid by the academy!
Trying to earn an honest crust in Spain is never easy!
