An uncrossed reconnaissance train was sent to detect machinery and damage in the tunnel
Line 3 (L3) of the Barcelona metro interrupted its circulation between Liceu and Lesseps stations this Tuesday at 12:35 p.m. due to a landslide on Passeig de Gràcia.
According to municipal sources consulted by Europa Press, “a machine from the L4 accessibility works of Passeig de Gràcia that was operating on the street has pierced the L3 tunnel.”
As soon as he detected dust and stones on the track, the driver of a train with a passenger alerted the control center and “automatically” traffic has been suspended.
The same sources said that he was sent a reconnaissance train without passengers to detect machinery and damage in the tunnel.
For its part, the Barcelona Metropolitan Transport (TMB) informed Europa Press that it had verified that “some works outside caused debris to fall into the tunnel.”
Similarly, they detailed that They are examining whether the incident caused damage on the road or on the cables and that, “if all goes well”, they will restore service shortly.
