According to El Correo - Bizkaia, Metro Bilbao has resolved the technical problems that caused widespread delays on Thursday between Etxebarri and San Ignacio. Service across the whole network has resumed.
What happened
The fault began at around 13:15 and was fixed about fifteen minutes later, according to the report. Train frequencies then returned to normal gradually rather than all at once, so passengers may have still experienced some waits as the timetable recovered.
The source does not describe the cause of the technical problems in detail, only that they were technical in nature.
A second incident the day before
The article also notes that the metro had suffered another disruption the previous day that affected the entire network. That problem started at around 15:40 in the afternoon, according to El Correo - Bizkaia.
Thursday's incident was therefore the second in two days. The report does not say whether the two events were related.
Information for passengers
Metro Bilbao published notices in Basque and Spanish about the delays between Etxebarri and San Ignacio, citing technical causes and apologising for the inconvenience. The article does not mention alternative routes or replacement services for the affected stretch.
Passengers planning trips on the network are advised to check the operator's official channels for the latest updates on frequencies and service status.
