Valencia - Vossloh Espana, Serie 4300, 4355, Station Aeroport (Valencia)
Last weekend I visited the Spanish city Valencia and during the three day trip I managed to make some rides on the metro and tram. The city itself was very beautiful with a nice ambiance, and we had the luck that the weather was very good.
The metro of Valencia (called Metrovalencia) dates from 1988 with the opening of the lines 1 and 2. Since then, the network has grown to six metro lines (line 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9) and three tram lines (4, 6, 8). The total network is 156 kilometers long and there are 137 stations and stops and the newest extension (the opening of metro line 9) dates from March 6th 2015. On the metro lines you can find two different types: the UTE 3900 and the UTE 4300. The UTE 3900 comprises of 18 four-car trains and were delivered in 1995 by Meinfasa. The UTE 4300 were delivered from 2006 and a total of 62 trains were build (42 four-car trains and 20 two-car trains) by Vossloh Espana to replace the UT 3600 and UTA 3700.
Here you can see a UTE 4300 train at the Airport Station (Estación de Aeroport), waiting for its departure as line 3 to Rafelbunyol.
