From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

— Line 4, currently known as Trinitat Nova - La Pau, usually called "línia groga" (yellow line), is a line in the Barcelona Metro network operated by TMB, and part of the ATM fare-integrated transport network. This is the only line to use the oldest rolling stock series still in use in Barcelona, 1100, along with a few 2100 trains. It serves the the northern districts of the city, and it's currently being extended to the new major metro and rail stations Estació de la Sagrera and Sagrera-Meridiana.
