Metro L2 Stays Shut Between La Pau and Gorg Until Dec. 3
Barcelona's L2 metro line stays closed between La Pau and Gorg until Dec. 3. Shuttle bus frequencies, last departures and other routes to Badalona.
The purple L2 line of the Barcelona metro will remain closed between La Pau and Gorg until the end of service on Dec. 3, 2026, because of infrastructure works, according to Metrópoli Abierta. The section has had no trains since Nov. 2.
The closure cuts the direct metro link between Sant Martí, Sant Adrià de Besòs and Badalona. Trains still run normally between Paral·lel and La Pau, and between Gorg and Badalona Pompeu Fabra.
How the replacement bus works
TMB (Barcelona’s bus and metro operator) runs a free shuttle bus over the closed section. It travels between La Pau and Gorg and stops at the stations in between: Verneda, Artigues | Sant Adrià and Sant Roc. The buses keep the same hours as the metro, and passengers do not need to validate their ticket again to board.
How long you wait depends on the day:
- Weekdays: a bus every three to five minutes
- Saturdays: every five to nine minutes
- Sundays and public holidays: every seven to eleven minutes
From Sunday to Thursday, the last shuttle that connects with the metro leaves Gorg for La Pau at 23:36. The last one in the other direction leaves La Pau for Gorg at 00:00.
Stop change on Nov. 14 and 15
On Nov. 14 and 15, the shuttle will skip the Sant Adrià Centre stop and use the Ricart – Avenida Pi i Margall stop (1773) instead. The usual stop returns from Nov. 16.
Other ways between Badalona and Barcelona
Riders who prefer to avoid the shuttle have several other options:
- L10 Nord runs from La Sagrera to Gorg, with connections at La Sagrera to the L1 and L5.
- Passengers can also change to the L1 at Clot to continue toward the rest of the L2.
- TMB’s H10 bus links La Pau and Gorg.
- TUSGSAL, a bus company serving Badalona, runs the B25, M26, M30 and N11 lines.
- Rodalies (Catalonia’s commuter rail) line R1 runs between Clot and Badalona Pompeu Fabra.
What it means for commuters
Anyone who travels on the L2 between Sant Martí and Badalona faces a transfer to a bus or a different route for about a month. On weekdays the shuttle comes every three to five minutes, while weekend and holiday waits are longer. Late-night riders face the tightest window, because the last connecting buses on weekday nights leave at 23:36 from Gorg and 00:00 from La Pau.
The same outlet also reported that metro and bus workers in Barcelona plan to strike on Nov. 11, with workers backing the stoppage by a wide majority.
When the line reopens
Normal service along the whole L2 is expected to return on Dec. 3, when the works are scheduled to end.
