Overview

  • On the morning of July 2, trains on lines 1, 2 and 7 ran up to nearly one hour late due to signalling and control-order malfunctions in the southern zone of the network.
  • This disruption marks the third consecutive week of operational glitches since the full reopening, following initial 30-minute delays and then 10–15-minute setbacks.
  • Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana has identified faults in its signalling and communication systems and is working to correct them.
  • The entire Metrovalencia network reopened on June 27 after an eight-month, €140 million reconstruction project triggered by spring floods.
  • FGV is providing updates via its X account and other social media channels and plans to restore nighttime metro service in August.
