⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Exploring Barcelona Metro Line L4

Line 4 is a line in the Barcelona Metro network operated by TMB, and part of the ATM fare-integrated transport network. Opened to the public in 1973, it serves the northern half of Barcelona using part of the infrastructure of Barcelona's first metro line the Gran Metro de Barcelona, covering a wide C-shaped area stretching from La Pau (in la Verneda) to Trinitat Nova, where it is linked with the recent L11. The 16.7 kilometers that make up the whole line are underground.
Line 4 uses 2100 series cars as well as 9000 series cars. A majority of the 2100 series cars are the only remaining cars on the Barcelona Metro that have not been rebuilt and retain their original transverse seating. A few even retain their original white paint scheme! The 2100 series cars are currently being rebuilt, with a few freshly overhauled trains being seen in this video. Enjoy!

So beautiful, clean, and quiet...

I dunno but the 2100s are very fascinating. While technically they are almost the same with the 9000 series from Alstom (though not a surprise since the 2100s are also built by Alstom along with CAF), they look like they're from the 70s, not from 1997-2002 when they were built.

Open gangway cars, plug type doors (along with big picture windows), and 3 minute headways. These are standard subway technologies in other countries, but which are completely foreign for NYCT.

[@transitimprover]

Wow they have impressive acceleration. When I was in Barcelona I always took L3 so I will be excited to see that

[@TheBeagle58]

Interesting, they sound almost like DC Metro 1k's sweet

[@andr_w]

The L4 was on of my favs when I lived there.

[@metrobarcelonapaulskiribesfres]

And me

[@Adrian34-b1g]

Me too

[@hamidkheyar1870]

I have a memories there 😭

[@paulwarner5395]

Thanx for the video. A couple of things . They use overhead wire rather than DC 3rd rail. The door opening handles seem to operate the opposite to the logical way of opening.

[@wsx2000lol]

in the past L4 along with many other lines where 3rd rail, until late 90's

[@thetrainguy400]

Hmm nice

[@metrobcnlarik4932]

[@TBF_1J]

[@RainbowSpinDashIsawesome]

That train model reminds me of London underground for some reason

[@anas_akanae]

It reminds me of the three front windows in the 3000 and

[@scottyerkes1867]

Wow

[@matshumachan2297]

Well, nice

[@michaelmorales1475]

[@metrobarcelonapaulskiribesfres]

Nice video

[@maknyc1539]

it makes nyc seem like 3rd world country

[@moviemania1137]

Plus the people seem nicer. (Everyone minding their own business)

[@pizzaipinya2442]

I'm sorry to tell you that this one is probably the line in worst condition in terms of infrastructure of the whole metro xd

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

Hey dj if the 7 train were to go to south ferry how would it happen

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

@hanover square or is it

[@r40slantmasternyc60]

Wait a minute. These trains sound a lot like the R211’s propulsion sound

[@Lodai974]

Normal for the 9000 series is the same manufacturer .... Alstom .... The 9000 series is part of the Alstom Metropolis family that can be found all over the world.

[@wsx2000lol]

little curiosity the 2100 igbt traction motors were the first onix ones made by alstom

[@nancyoffenhiser4916]

Does anybody know who makes these train sets.. oh I see.. Alstom.

[@jaydottt_transitfanner]

that's why they have the R160 HVAC sound

[@wsx2000lol]

2100 CAF/Alstom
9000 Astom

[@carlosromero2882]
