Line 2 of Metrovalencia opened on March 6, 2015 in the city of Valencia, Spain. The line, which featured no new stations, was created as part of a restructuring of public transport in the city. It replaced the branch of Line 1 which ran from Llíria to Torrent.[2]

History

The original line 2 of Metrovalencia was opened with the rest of the network in 1988 and ran from Llíria to Villanueva de Castellón. On 16 September 1999, line 2 ceased to exist when it was merged into line 1.

In the 2000s, a new line 2 was planned, to run from Tavernes Blanques to Valencia's Natzaret district. After years of delays, it opened in May 2022 as line 10.[3] The line 2 designation is now used for existing branches of the network. The frequency of trains on these branches will remain unchanged.[4]
