The '''Barcelona–Vallès Line''' ({{lang-ca|Línia Barcelona-Vallès}}) is an unconnected [[standard gauge]] [[rapid transit]] and [[commuter rail|commuter]] [[railway line]] linking [[Barcelona]] with [[Sabadell]] and [[Terrassa]] via the [[Collserola]] mountain range, in [[Catalonia]], [[Spain]]. Its name refers to the Catalan historical region of [[Vallès]], whereby most part of the line runs. [[Plaça de Catalunya station]] serves as the Barcelona terminus of the line, where almost all its trains either start or terminate. The line then continues northwards and branches off twice before leaving the city limits. Its main route splits in two in [[Sant Cugat del Vallès]], forming two major branches to Sabadell and Terrassa. It has 40 passenger stations in operation and a total line length of {{convert|48.1|km|mi}}.
The origins of the line date from 1863, when a privately owned railway from Barcelona to the then-separated town of [[Sarrià, Barcelona|Sarrià]] was opened. In 1912, Catalan engineer Carles Emili Montañès created the company [[Ferrocarriles de Cataluña]] (FCC) in order to take control of the line and extend it northwards. After successive extensions, the line reached Terrassa and Sabadell in 1919 and 1922, respectively. In 1977, FCC announced that the whole line was to be closed due to the company's bad economic results. Nevertheless, the [[Government of Spain|Spanish government]] prevented that from happening by taking control of it. The line was transferred to the [[Generalitat of Catalonia|Catalan government]] in 1979, and has been operated by [[Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya]] (FGC) ever since. Currently, the most prominent intervention on the line is the extension of the Terrassa and Sabadell branches through the construction of a route underneath the two cities; the former was completed in 2015, whilst the latter did so in 2017.<ref name="terrassa2015">{{cite press release |url=http://premsa.gencat.cat/pres_fsvp/docs/2015/07/29/09/35/a8b2d0b7-dc45-49a4-bbf8-e345f3de06b3.pdf |title=Entra en servei el perllongament d'FGC a Terrassa |trans-title=FGC's Terrassa extension opens for passenger service |website=Sala de premsa

==History==
{{expand section|date=July 2015}}
The Barcelona–Vallès Line was opened in 1863 with the old Iberian gauge of 1672 mm, and was electrified and regauged to standard gauge (1435 mm) in 1905.
[[File:Sabadell-Rambla.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Current FGC plate at the Sabadell-Rambla station. This station was replaced with the construction of further stations in the town.]]
Sabadell Metro ([[Catalan language|Catalan]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Metro de Sabadell''), is the name of the underground subway line in [[Sabadell]]. It is operated by the [[Generalitat de Catalunya|Catalan government]]-owned rail company [[Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya]]. Construction of the subway line started in late 2006 and was due to be finished by 2011 or 2012, depending on which project the FGC finally decided on.<ref>[http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/255133/0/obras/centro/paradas/ Un año de obras en el centro de Sabadell para hacer 5 paradas de FGC – 20minutos.es<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> However, work was temporarily halted due to the [[2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis]],<ref>"El Govern també paralitza el 'metro de Terrassa i Sabadell." Diari Ara (Barcelona), 26 January 2012, p.10</ref> but later resumed and the first phase opened in two stages in September 2016 and July 2017.
The proposed line will join the city centre of Sabadell with its northern neighbourhoods, where it will join the [[Renfe]] network line, and will effectively link the city with [[Barcelona]] through the main FGC lines. The terminus of the current general FGC line, a station called ''Sabadell – Rambla'', will disappear as it will be replaced by this network. The original project, if fulfilled, will be 4.2 km long.<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www10.gencat.net/ptop/AppJava/cat/actuacions/departament/public/metro/valles/fgc_sabadell.jsp Perllongament de la línia d'FGC a Sabadell – DPTOP<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070828024540/http://www10.gencat.net/ptop/AppJava/cat/actuacions/departament/public/metro/valles/fgc_sabadell.jsp |date=28 August 2007 }}</ref> It has been criticised for devising a subway line that would run nearly parallel to the [[Renfe]] line, which has been deemed not effective enough to suit the needs of a city the size of Sabadell.

Terrassa Metro is the name of the current subway in [[Terrassa]], [[Catalonia]], [[Spain]], operated by the [[Generalitat de Catalunya|Catalan government]]-owned rail company [[Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya]] (''FGC''). It could be more accurately defined as an underground addition to the already existing FGC commuter train network in the city, located in the [[metropolitan area of Barcelona]].
Construction of the subway line was due to start in 2008 and the date of completion was estimated to be in 2010. The proposed line will link the already existing FGC station ''Terrassa
==Route description==
The Barcelona–Vallès Line has its start point at [[Plaça de Catalunya station]], which is located directly underneath [[El Triangle]] shopping mall, on the southwesternmost side of ''[[Plaça de Catalunya]]'' ("Catalonia Square"), a major public transport hub in the [[Barcelona]] district of [[Eixample]]. The line then continues northwestwards in an underground route along [[Carrer de Balmes|Balmes Street]] until its intersection with [[Avinguda Diagonal|Diagonal Avenue]], from this point on running underneath [[Via Augusta]]. After [[Gràcia (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Gràcia station]], the line branches off thanks to a [[flying junction]],<ref>{{cite web |first=Bernat |last=Borràs |title=Gràcia |url=http://www.trenscat.com/metrovalles/gracia_ct.html |website=trenscat.cat |language=
The main line towards [[Vallès]] bends westwards exactly following Via Augusta on its way along the [[Sarrià-Sant Gervasi]] district. It branches off again at [[Sarrià (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Sarrià station]], forming a {{convert|0.6|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} stretch to [[Reina Elisenda (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Reina Elisenda station]].<ref name="technical" /> The main route, however, continues northwards in a backwards C-shaped route through Barcelona's last streets at the foot of the [[Collserola]] mountain range. At this point, the line runs on a succession of alternated [[Cut (earthmoving)|open-cut]] and underground sections before eventually crossing the [[Vallvidrera]] neighborhood through a {{convert|1.6|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} tunnel in a northwest direction.<ref>{{cite web |title=El túnel ferroviari d'Horta |trans-title=Horta railway tunnel |url=http://www20.gencat.cat/portal/site/territori/menuitem.2a0ef7c1d39370645f13ae92b0c0e1a0/?vgnextoid=7fabc48fda119210VgnVCM1000008d0c1e0aRCRD&vgnextchannel=7fabc48fda119210VgnVCM1000008d0c1e0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&newLang=ca_ES |publisher=Department of Public Works and Transport.

On the one hand, the stretch to Terrassa continues moving away from Sant Cugat del Vallès in a northwesterly direction towards [[Rubí, Barcelona|Rubí]], where the line's [[Rubí Operations
On the other hand, the stretch to Sabadell curves northeasterly as it approaches the end of its route through Sant Cugat del Vallès. It then passes through [[Cerdanyola del Vallès]]'s [[Bellaterra]] neighborhood before curving notably in a southwest direction and, shortly after, again in a northeast direction, reaching the [[Universitat Autònoma (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Bellaterra campus]] of the [[Autonomous University of Barcelona]].<ref name="google" /> Before curving northwesterly, the branch line crosses a part of the campus thanks to a short tunnel and, about {{convert|700|m|ft}} further,<ref>Distance measured using [[Google Maps]]'s "Distance Measurement Tool".</ref> it goes through another short tunnel as it bends west. It curves in a north direction towards [[Sant Quirze del Vallès]] immediately after. The line then enters Sabadell in a northeast direction, continuing above ground up to [[

==== Service hours ====
The first trains run about 4:30 in the morning to [[midnight]], with later starting times on weekends. Currently, there are no overnight services, though the last trains run just after 2:00 the following morning on Friday and Saturday nights as well as on [[public holiday]]s.<ref name="s1terrassa">{{cite web |title=School time schedule of lines S1 and S5 |date=July 2015 |url=http://www.fgc.cat/downloads/horaris/Terrassa_LECTIUS_jul15.pdf
==== Barcelona Metro (L lines) ====
Rapid transit services run only on the two urban branch lines within the city of Barcelona and are considered part of the [[Barcelona Metro]] system, so that they are numbered and colored consistent with the rest of the system's lines—all Barcelona Metro lines are designated with the letter "L" plus a number, and each is colored distinctly on maps.<ref name="liniestc">{{cite web |first=Bernat |last=Borràs |title=Línia Barcelona-Vallès

[[File:Interior tren FGC.JPG|thumb|Interior of a [[FGC 112 Series|112 Series]] train.]]
The trains on the Barcelona–Vallès Line are currently the [[FGC 112 Series|112]], [[FGC 113 and 114 Series|113]] and [[FGC 113 and 114 Series|114]] Series. There are a total of 66 [[electrical multiple unit]]s, all of which are [[Accessibility|disabled-accessible]], [[Air conditioning|air-conditioned]] and equipped with the [[automatic train protection]] (ATP) security system.<ref>{{cite web
An initial 16-unit set of 112 Series trains started operating on the line between 1995 and 1996, and another 6-unit set did so in 2003. Considering both their technical features and design, the 112 Series are almost identical to the 213 Series that run on the [[Llobregat–Anoia Line]]. The latter, however, feature {{Track gauge|1000 mm|allk=on}} and consist of three cars, while the 112 Series feature {{Track gauge|sg|allk=on}} and consist of four cars.<ref>{{cite web |first=Bernat |last=Borràs |title=Trens
Before the entry into service of the 113 and 114 Series throughout 2014, a former 20-unit set of the three-car [[FGC 111 Series|111 Series]] trains had run on the line. These trains started operating between 1983 and 1987, and were the line's first modern electrical multiple units.<ref>{{cite web |first=Bernat |last=Borràs |title=Línia Barcelona-Vallès
In December 2017, FGC ordered 15 new four-car EMUs, designated the [[FGC 115 Series|115 Series]], from [[Stadler Rail]]'s ex-[[MACOSA]] facility with entry into service planned for 2019.<ref name="s115">{{cite web | url=https://www.railjournal.com/index.php/rolling-stock/fgc-orders-15-emus-from-stadler-rail-valencia.html | title=FGC orders 15 EMUs from Stadler Rail Valencia | publisher=International Railway Journal | date=10 January 2018 |
