  About Barcelona metro line 1

The Barcelona metro line 1, frequently called L1 and also known as "Línia vermella" (the red line), has a rich history that reflects the evolution of public transport in the city ; it occupies a symbolic place in the history of public transport in the town.
inaugurated in 1926, the first section of the line 1 ran from Plaça de Catalunya to Bordeta, before being extended many times over the years to serve more districts and satisfy the city's growing transport needs ; It was between 1980 and 1990 that the line 1 was considerably extended, reaching outlying districts and considerably increasing its length and capacity.
Faced with the technical influences of the period in which it was built, the L1, like other lines of the initial network, was built with a track gauge wider than that typically used for European metros ; since its inauguration, the line has been subjected to several phases of modernisation, including electrification and the acquisition of new rail rolling stock.
The Barcelona metro's line 1 plays a crucial role in the city's transport network connecting major residential areas with commercial and business centres ; it offers links with other metro lines, as well as regional train and tram networks.
Nowadays, managed by TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona), the line 1 of the Barcelona metro serves 3 municipalities.
