Line 2 of Metrovalencia will open on 1 April 2015 in the city of Valencia, Spain. The line, which will feature no new stations, will be created as part of a restructuring of public transport in the city. It will replace the branches of the current Line 1 which run from Llíria to Torrent.[1]

History

The original line 2 of Metrovalencia was opened with the rest of the network in 1988 and ran from Llíria to Villanueva de Castellón. On 16 September 1999, line 2 ceased to exist when it was merged into line 1.

In the 2000s, a new line 2 was planned, to run from Tavernes Blanques to Valencia's Natzaret district. As of January 2015, this line is partially complete, however construction has been halted for several years due to Spain's economic problems. The line 2 designation will now be used for existing branches of the network. The frequency of trains on these branches will remain unchanged.[2]
