Perspective
Collblanc was originally opened as a Line 5 station in 1969, serving as the terminus for an isolated section running from Diagonal. It was originally named San Ramón, after a nearby parish. It would become a through station in 1973, as the line was extended towards Pubilla Cases. The station's name changed to the current Collblanc in 1982, in the context of a general reorganization of the Barcelona Metro network.[3] The station underwent major refurbishment works in 1999.[1]
In 2016, a new shared station hall was opened as Collblanc became one of the initial stations on the southern portion of Line 9. The inauguration took place on February 12, 2016.[4] As other stations on the Line 9 project, Collblanc was built in a well structure, with a depth of 56 meters. Unlike other stations however, Collblanc doesn't feature several high-capacity elevators. Instead, 5 sets of escalators link the new platforms to the station hall. Only 2 elevators reach the platform level.[5]
Currently, due to the ongoing works to complete the central section of Line 9 and Line 10, only the lower platform shared by the lines is normally in use.[6]
On 8 September 2018, Line 10's southern branch became operational, with Collblanc serving as the line's temporary terminus.[7]
