Access Changes at Badal Station
TMB is carrying out works to replace a ramp at the end of the platform on line L5 at Badal station, in the direction of Cornellà Centre. The work takes place from Monday 16th to Friday 20th November 2026. During this period, passengers cannot access the street-level exit at Carrer de Sants via the usual concourse connected to that end of the platform. Instead, those arriving at or departing from the station must use the main concourse near Carrers Arizala and Carreras i Candi.
If you're heading to catch a train towards Cornellà Centre, you'll need to enter via the Vall d'Hebron-bound platform, walk its full length, switch concourses, then descend to the correct side.
Passengers alighting at Badal station from trains in the direction of Cornellà Centre must exit via the alternate concourse serving exits at Carrer de Sants / Arizala and Carreras i Candi.
What Commuters Should Know
The changes affect only one platform and its linked access points. The works are part of routine maintenance to improve accessibility and safety at the station. Commuters are advised to allow extra time for journeys, especially during peak hours. Signage will be in place to guide passengers, and TMB staff may be present to assist. Passengers with reduced mobility are urged to plan ahead and contact TMB for support if needed.
The metro station remains open throughout the works, and full service operates on L5. No train cancellations are scheduled as part of this maintenance.
