History

The original line 2 of Metrovalencia was opened with the rest of the network in 1988 and ran from Llíria to Villanueva de Castellón. On 16 September 1999, line 2 ceased to exist when it was merged into line 1.

In the 2000s, a new line 2 was planned, to run from Tavernes Blanques to Valencia's Natzaret district. After years of delays, it opened in May 2022 as line 10.^[3] The line 2 designation is now used for existing branches of the network. The frequency of trains on these branches will remain unchanged.^[4]
