Why are there works on Metrovalencia Line 1?
The aim of these works is to improve the frequency on the section from Torrent to Castelló, as for a long time there was a great deal of criticism about the lack of service in these towns.
In this sense, the average frequency of this section was around 40 minutes of waiting time between metro and metro and it is hoped that with the works and the extension from 1 to 2 tracks the waiting time can be reduced to 15/20 minutes.
