This was solved in 1998 and 1999 when an extension to Pitis was opened in four stages. First, it was opened between Avenida de América and Gregorio Marañón on 1 April 1998, then between Gregorio Marañón and Canal.

At the first station, Estadio Olímpico next to Madrid's Olympic Stadium, passengers have to change trains for Metro-Este to Coslada and San Fernando - the so called Line 7B. Line 7A uses 6-car trains of class 9000, and line 7B 3-car trains of class 9000.
