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 |format=PDF |language=Catalanca |publisher=Department of Public Works and Transport.

'''[[Barcelona Metro]] [[rapid transit]] lines [[Barcelona–Vallès Line#Rail services|6, 7 and 12]]''' serve the line's urban branches within Barcelona, while the rest of the line is operated as a high-frequency [[commuter rail]] system known as '''Vallès Metro''' ({{lang-ca|Metro del Vallès}}). This system further includes the [[Vallvidrera Funicular]], which is also operated by FGC. The Barcelona–Vallès Line is part of the [[Autoritat del Transport Metropolità]] (ATM) fare-integrated public transport system for the [[Barcelona metropolitan area]].
 
==History==
{{expand section|date=July 2015}}
 
The Barcelona–Vallès Line was opened in 1863 with the old Iberian gauge of 1672&nbsp;mm, and was electrified and regauged to standard gauge (1435&nbsp;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&nbsp;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. Also, a civic association called [[Sabadell Cruïlla]] has proposed the construction of a larger metro system to link Sabadell with other large cities in the immediate region such as [[Terrassa]] and [[Granollers]].<ref>[http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=402755&idseccio_PK=1022&h= Vecinos de Sabadell cuestionan la prolongación de los Ferrocarrils | El Periódico de Catalunya | Barcelona<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In addition to that, it has proposed several changes to the initial project so the subway line would reach [[Torreromeu]] and [[Polinyà]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070929140425/http://www.sabadellcruilla.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0&POSTNUKESID=d2bca362f434af64fef66336cbddec4a S'anima el debat sobre les obres del "Metro de Sabadell" :: sabadellcruilla.org :: Sabadell, cruïlla de camins<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
 
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 - Rambla'' with the [[Renfe]] rail line in the city, and will cover a larger portion of the city area, including the [[Polytechnic University of Catalonia]] schools located in Terrassa. Construction of the tunnel in Can Roca started in April 2007.<ref name="agrupament.net">[http://www.agrupament.net/portal/?p=187 Agrupament Ferroviari de Barcelona » Blog Archive » Comencen els treballs per a executar els túnels del perllongament d’FGC a Terrassa<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> [[Generalitat de Catalunya]] stated a budget of 178.8 million euros will be available for the construction of the Terrassa Metro,<ref name="gencat.net">[{{Cite web |url=http://www.gencat.net/acordsdegovern/20061121/01.htm |title=Acords de Govern.

==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=Catalanca |accessdateaccess-date=14 September 2014}}</ref> forming a {{convert|1.9|km|mi|adj=mid|-long}} stretch to [[Avinguda Tibidabo (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Avinguda Tibidabo station]].<ref name="technical" /> Contrarily to the line's main route, this branch line keeps on running northwestwards, following again Balmes Street up to its northern end, which is also the northern terminus of the branch line.<ref name="google">{{google maps |url=https://www.google.com/maps/@41.463547,2.0788906,12z/data=!5m1!1e2?hl=ca |title=Overview map of the Barcelona–Vallès Line and its service routes |accessdateaccess-date=14 September 2014}}</ref>
 
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. Generalitat of Catalonia.|language=Catalanca |accessdateaccess-date=14 September 2014}}</ref> It then continues going across Collserola's central area above ground, running parallel to [[C-16 highway (Spain)|C-16 motorway]] up to [[Valldoreix (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Valldoreix station]] in [[Sant Cugat del Vallès]], passing through [[Les Planes (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Les Planes]] and [[La Floresta (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|La Floresta]] neighborhoods. Next, the line curves northeasterly, getting closer to Sant Cugat del Vallès city center. It diverges into two main branch lines immediately after [[Sant Cugat (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Sant Cugat station]]: the Terrassa branch curves markedly in a west direction, while the [[Sabadell]] branch runs northwards.<ref name="google" />
 
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 CenterCentre|main depot and operations centercentre]] is located. It goes along the western limits of Rubí city centercentre, describing a straight route northwards to the [[Les Fonts (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Les Fonts]] neighborhoodneighbourhood. The branch line proceeds by slightly curving northwesterly, and penetrates into Terrassa city center through a route underneath ''Rambla del Pare Alegre'' and ''Rambla d'Égara'' streets.<ref name="google" /> After [[Terrassa Rambla (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Terrassa Rambla station]], it runs in a S-shaped route, reaching Vallparadís Park, then continuing northwards, terminating at [[Terrassa Nacions Unides (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Terrassa Nacions Unides station]].<ref name="perllterrassa">{{cite web |first=Bernat |last=Borràs |title=Línia Barcelona-Vallès - Perllongament Metro del Vallès a Terrassa |trans-title=Barcelona–Vallès Line - Metro del Vallès extension in Terrassa |url=http://www.trenscat.com/metrovalles/proj_perllterrassa_ct.html |website=trenscat.cat |language=Catalanca |accessdateaccess-date=17 June 2015}}</ref>
 
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 [[SabadellCan Feu - EstacióGràcia (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|SabadellCan EstacióFeu {{!}} Gràcia station]]; hereafter, running in an underground route terminating at [[Sabadell RamblaParc del Nord (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Sabadell RamblaParc del Nord station]].<ref name="google" />

==== 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 - Línies |trans-title=Barcelona–Vallès Line - Lines |url=http://www.trenscat.com/metrovalles/linies_ct.html |website=trenscat.cat |language=Catalanca |accessdateaccess-date=17 June 2015}}</ref> The services running between Plaça Catalunya and Sarrià are designated ''L6'' and colored deep lavender, the shuttle trains between Sarrià and Reina Elisenda are designated ''L12'' and colored pale lavender, whilst the services running on the [[Avinguda Tibidabo (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Avinguda Tibidabo]] branch are designated ''L7'' and colored brown.

==== Vallès Metro (S lines) ====
Commuter rail services run between Barcelona and other locations in the [[Vallès]] area, and are known under the collective name of '''Vallès Metro''' ({{lang-ca|Metro del Vallès}}).<ref name="vallesgencat">{{cite web|title=El Metro del Vallès i les línies urbanes de Sarrià i avinguda Tibidabo |trans-title=The Vallès Metro and the Sarrià and Avinguda Tibidabo urban lines |url=http://territori.gencat.cat/ca/01_departament/04_actuacions_i_obres/01_actuacions_de_territori_i_mobilitat/transport_public/xarxa_dfgc/metro_del_valles |website=Actuacions i obres |publisher=Department of Public Works and Transport.

During [[rush hour]]s, additional partial services run between Barcelona and other stations in the Vallès area in each direction, operating as [[skip-stop]] clones of S1 and S2 services. The partial services running on the Terrassa branch are designated ''S5'' and ''S7'', while the ones on the Sabadell branch are designated ''S55S6''. During school time, some trains include two of their cars reserved for students. Furthermore, in addition to regular commuter rail services, one train entirely reserved for students is operated in each direction on weekdays.<ref name="s1terrassa" /><ref name="s2sabadell" />
 
==== Frequencies ====
The current line scheme allows for peak-time service frequencies of less than 6 minutes in each direction on the Av. Tibidabo, Terrassa and Sabadell branches, and 4 minutes on the Reina Elisenda branch. The overall service frequency reducesincreases as the line gets closer to central Barcelona, where the core route between Pl. Catalunya and [[Gràcia (Barcelona–Vallès Line)|Gràcia]] stations provides a headway of less than 2 minutes in each direction during rush hours.<ref name="FOOTNOTEFGC201358">[[#CITEREFFGC2013|FGC (2013)]], p. 58</ref> Thus, with up to 32 trains per hour in each direction, the Pl.

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.

==Future==
[[File:L12 metro de Barcelona.svg|thumb|Map of potential extensions for L3 and L12]]
 
A three-station extension of L12 from Reina Elisenda to a new transfer station at Finestrelles - Sant Joan de Déu in the [[Esplugues de Llobregat]] municipality, where an extension of Barcelona Metro L3 is also under construction, is expected to be opened in 2030.
[[File:Sabadell-Rambla.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Current FGC plate at the Sabadell-Rambla station. This station will be replaced with the construction of further stations in the town.]]
A subway, named Sabadell Metro ([[Catalan language|Catalan]] and [[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Metro de Sabadell''), is planned for [[Sabadell]]. It will be 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, in January 2012, work was halted due to the [[2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis|Spanish economic crisis]].<ref>"El Govern també paralitza el 'metro de Terrassa i Sabadell." Diari Ara (Barcelona), 26 January 2012, p.10</ref>
 
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&nbsp;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. Also, a civic association called [[Sabadell Cruïlla]] has proposed the construction of a larger metro system to link Sabadell with other large cities in the immediate region such as [[Terrassa]] and [[Granollers]].<ref>[http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=402755&idseccio_PK=1022&h= Vecinos de Sabadell cuestionan la prolongación de los Ferrocarrils | El Periódico de Catalunya | Barcelona<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> In addition to that, it has proposed several changes to the initial project so the subway line would reach [[Torreromeu]] and [[Polinyà]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070929140425/http://www.sabadellcruilla.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0&POSTNUKESID=d2bca362f434af64fef66336cbddec4a S'anima el debat sobre les obres del "Metro de Sabadell" :: sabadellcruilla.org :: Sabadell, cruïlla de camins<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
