L10 improves its safety and suspends service in Zona Franca these days
The L10 metro line in Barcelona is upgrading its braking system on the elevated section in Zona Franca. The works require the service to be suspended for several days during Semana Santa, with shuttle buses provided as an alternative for users.
The closure affects the section between Can Tries Gornal and ZAL Riu Vell, a key area for people travelling through the industrial and logistics surroundings. During these days, TMB has provided alternative transport to maintain the connection.
The work is intended to improve braking precision in adverse weather conditions. As it runs outdoors, this section is more sensitive to rain or wind, which can affect the automatic driverless system.
With the new technology, trains will be able to brake more accurately without the need to activate manual protocols. This will enable more stable and safer operation in any situation.
The works have been scheduled for Semana Santa to reduce the impact on daily mobility, since demand in this area falls during the holidays.
For people who use this line, the change will mean more reliable journeys in the long term, although during these days it will be necessary to allow more travelling time because of the closures and transfers.
