Barcelona Metro line 8

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

— Line 8, coloured pink (termini: Plaça Espanya - Molí Nou-Ciutat Cooperativa) and operated by FGC, is part of the Barcelona Metro network, and therefore of the larger ATM fare-integrated transport system. It joins Plaça Espanya, in the Sants-Montjuïc district of Barcelona with metropolitan area municipalities of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Cornellà de Llobregat and Sant Boi.

[edit] Overview

The pink line, mostly underground, links Plaça Espanya, in Barcelona proper, with Sant Boi, through L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. It opened in 1912 as a train line, and was known as S3 until 2003, hence the name of its suburban extended line (S33). It's also part of the Llobregat-Anoia and Metro del Baix Llobregat railway networks run by FGC.

An ampliation of the line further into central Barcelona, with a new station in Plaça Francesc Macià is being projected at the moment. It would link both the metro line and the Baix Llobregat line with Trambaix routes T1, T2 and T3 and the Vallès line.
