We are opening up the metro spaces

September 13, 14, 20 and 21 / October 4, 5, 25 and 26

The new simulation room, inaugurated in September 2024, has 8 driving simulation cabins of different metro series. During the visit, registered participants will be able to learn how these tools work and will have the opportunity to try the simulation cabins available at the facility.

Since the new simulator room opened, 441 professionals have used it, and it is expected to reach a total of 2,800 hours of training at the new location by the end of 2025.

The simulators anticipate all kinds of incidents and situations that may occur in the network and allow a reduction of more than 10% in incidents related to driving. The space also improves communication between TMB professionals by bringing future workers into direct contact with supervisors who already are, or will become, managers in the future.

September 13, 14, 20 and 21 / October 4, 5, 25 and 26

Visitors will be able to discover how, from La Sagrera, we use the most advanced technology to ensure the proper operation of the metro network, both for the current conventional lines (L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5) and the new automated driverless lines (L9/10 and also L11).

The CCM operates year-round, 24 hours a day, ensuring that the scheduled service is provided at the highest quality. This involves controlling train interval regulation, adjusting supply to demand in real time, managing night work and internal and external information channels, as well as conducting service studies. It also resolves unforeseen incidents, coordinating contingencies and emergencies that may occur.

13, 14 and 20 September / 4, 5 and 25 October

Built in 1922, it is the oldest in the Barcelona metro network. The workshop serves line 1. Located in a building that houses three depot halls and an office complex, the site is considered a protected monument as a cultural asset of local interest in the municipality of l’Hospitalet de Llobregat.

13, 20 and 21 September / 4 and 25 October

The ZAL facilities serve lines 9 and 10, both automatic and the newest in the Barcelona metro network. In this workshop, the trains are prepared and the systems that allow this means of transport to operate every day are supervised.

13, 14, 20 and 21 September / 4, 5, 25 and 26 October

The site is one of the original buildings remaining from the old Metro Transversal (today line 1). It was designed by the architect Joan Bergós Massó, author of constructions influenced by Italian Renaissance, traditional Catalan art, and some derived from Modernisme and from the architect Gaudí.

4, 5, 25 and 26 October

Since its construction in 1968, Gaudí station has been closed to the public, becoming one of the so-called "ghost stations" of the Barcelona metro. Located between Sagrada Família and Sant Pau/Dos de Maig stations, it can be explored through these guided visits, which allow visitors to see what this underground space is like.

13, 14, 20 and 21 September / 4, 5, 25 and 26 October

On 19 December 1926, the Gran Metro opened a second branch of its line connecting Aragó station with Jaume I, which included another intermediate station, Urquinaona (today line 4). Its original entrance had a iron and glass structure that protected the stairs and the lift. Over time, the structure lost its decorative wrought iron elements and was finally demolished in 1972.

20, 21 and 22 October / 17, 18 and 19 November

Correus station, which originally formed part of the second branch of the Gran Metro line, was in operation from 1934 until 1972, when line 4, to which it then belonged, was extended to Barceloneta. During the visit, visitors will go down to the track to walk for approximately 5 minutes until reaching the section where Correus station was located.
