We are opening the driving simulator room and the control center

During the celebration year of the Metro Centenary, we are introducing the public to some areas of the network that are exclusively for professional use.

On July 26 and 27, we will open the doors of the metro driving simulator room for the first time.

During the visit, registered participants will be able to learn how these tools work and will have the opportunity to try out the simulation cabins available at the facility.

Since the new simulator room opened, 441 professionals have participated, and by 2025, a total of 2,800 hours of training are expected at this new location.

The simulators prevent all kinds of incidents and situations that can occur on the network, helping to reduce by more than 10% those incidents caused by driving. The space also improves communication among TMB professionals by directly connecting future workers with current or future supervisors.

Registrations are not open yet. We will keep you informed.

The program to open metro spaces during the Centenary also includes the so-called CCM (Metro Control Center).

The Metro Control Center will be open on July 19 and 20, as well as on July 26 and 27, coinciding with the opening of the simulators.

Visitors will be able to discover how, from 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 for the new driverless automatic lines (L9/10 and also L11).

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

Registrations are not open yet. We will keep you informed.
