Wild Boar on Valencia Metro Tracks Causes Morning Delays on Lines 1 and 2

A newly ratified regional decree launches urgent monitoring with trapping to curb boar incursions in l'Horta, including Burjassot.

Overview

  • An alert around 09:00 reported a wild boar on the tracks near Empalme station in Burjassot, according to FGV.
  • The animal likely entered from the Empalme commercial area and was later seen near Campanar, prompting trains to slow or stop.
  • Metrovalencia warned all drivers, informed passengers by loudspeaker about a “wild animal,” and boosted security at stations such as Beniferri and Campanar.
  • Services returned to normal speeds beyond Túria station, and there was no public report of the boar’s capture.
  • Guardia Civil Seprona units were deployed as the Generalitat moves to use phototraps followed by trap boxes in designated hotspots.
