Móstoles-El Soto, is one of two railway stations serving the town of Móstoles in the Community of Madrid, Spain. It is situated on the Madrid-Móstoles-El Soto railway and is owned by Adif. The station currently serves as the western terminus of Cercanías Madrid line C-5.
Although there are plans to extend the line across the Guadarrama valley to Navalcarnero,[1] work has been paralysed by the financial crisis.
The station which was constructed in the 1970s is in need of updating.
History
At the end of the nineteenth century a narrow gauge railway was constructed between Madrid and Almorox via Mostoles. This railway closed in the 1960s, although it has been partly reopened as Cercanías Madrid line C-5 (an Iberian gauge line). Between Móstoles-El Soto railway station and Navalcarnero the track has been converted into a green route (via verde) for cyclists and walkers.[2]
