Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) has announced an increase in the frequency of metro lines 1 and 5, with the addition of an extra train to each line during morning peak hours, starting tomorrow, April 7, 2026.

This initiative, which will be implemented between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM, will allow Line 1 to reach 35 trains in circulation and Line 5 to reach 38. The goal is to optimize service and reduce waiting times for users.
According to a statement issued by TMB, the frequency of service on Line 5 will be reduced to less than two and a half minutes, while on Line 1 it will approach three minutes. This improvement aims to alleviate congestion during one of the busiest times for passengers.
“

"We have worked intensely to put the two additional trains into operation, coinciding with the return to school after Easter."

Laia Bonet · President of TMB
