Periférico Norte light rail station

Periférico Norte is the second station of Line 1 of the Guadalajara light rail system from north to south, and the nineteenth in the opposite direction.

The station is under the intersection of the Calzada Federalismo with the North Peripheral Ring (Spanish: Anillo Periférico Norte), to which its name alludes.

This station is located in a strategic area, since it connects with various bus routes that meet the demand of the municipalities of Zapopan, Guadalajara, Tonalá and Tlaquepaque.

Its logo represents a ring divided into two poles with the upper one highlighted, indicating that it is north.

Originally the Periferico Norte station was overground, but when the Line 1 expansion works began in August 2014, the station was demolished to build a more modern one under the North Peripheral Ring, along with an underpass for cars that circulate on Calzada Federalismo.
