Overview

• Full daytime service on the Valencia Sud–Castelló Metrovalencia line resumed on June 27 after eight months of flood recovery works.
• The Generalitat reports that 100,000 passengers used the restored service in its first week, underscoring its importance over replacement buses.
• FGV unions have documented multiple faults, including broken level crossings, nonfunctional safety beacons, incomplete platforms, and construction equipment on active tracks.
• The PSPV-PSOE says the reopening violates Spain’s Railway Safety Law and has urged President Carlos Mazón and Transport Minister Vicente Martínez Mus to halt operations until standards are met.
• FGV and regional authorities defend the rapid return of service as vital for affected communities and say final reconstruction tasks will continue, with night trains planned for August.
