La línea recorre, con una longitud total de 5,4 km, 9 estaciones de los distritos madrileños de Hortaleza (Barrios de Manoteras, Virgen del Cortijo y Valdefuentes -Sanchinarro-) y Fuencarral (barrio de Las Tablas), de las cuales 5 son subterráneas.
En su recorrido, une Pinar de Chamartín con la urbanización de Virgen del Cortijo y los nuevos desarrollos urbanísticos de Sanchinarro y Las Tablas. Su construcción se inició en diciembre de 2004 y finalizó con la inauguración de la línea el 24 de mayo de 2007 a las 6:00 h.
A pesar de que se explota mediante unidades de tranvías de la familia Citadis (Alstom), la mayor parte de la línea discurre bajo tierra, por túneles de similares características a los de gálibo estrecho del resto de la red, y una velocidad máxima de 70 km/h. El resto de los tramos son superficiales, con velocidad máxima limitada a 45 km/h y prioridad semafórica.
