Terrassa Metro

Terrassa Metro

Terrassa Metro (Catalan and Spanish: "Metro de Terrassa") will be the name of the future subway in Terrassa, Catalonia, Spain, operated by the Catalan government-owned rail company Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya ("FGC" henceforth). It could be more accurately defined as an underground addition to the already existing FGC commuter train network in the city, located in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.

Construction of the subway line is due to start in 2008 and date of completion is estimated to be in 2010. The proposed line will link the already existing FGC station "Terrassa - Rambla" with the Renfe rail line in the city, and will cover a larger portion of the city area, including the Polytechnic University of Catalonia schools located in Terrassa. Construction of the tunnel in Can Roca started in April 2007 [ [http://www.agrupament.net/portal/?p=187 Agrupament Ferroviari de Barcelona » Blog Archive » Comencen els treballs per a executar els túnels del perllongament d’FGC a Terrassa ] ] .
