## History

Collblanc was originally opened as a [Line 5](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_5) station in 1969, serving as the terminus for an isolated section running from [Diagonal](/source/Diagonal_(Barcelona_Metro)). It was originally named *San Ramón*, after a nearby parish. It would become a through station in 1973, as the line was extended towards [Pubilla Cases](/source/Pubilla_Cases_(Barcelona_Metro)). The station's name changed to the current *Collblanc* in 1982, in the context of a general reorganization of the [Barcelona Metro](/source/Barcelona_Metro) network.[3] The station underwent major refurbishment works in 1999.[1]

In 2016, a new shared station hall was opened as Collblanc became one of the initial stations on the southern portion of [Line 9](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_9). The inauguration took place on February 12, 2016.[4] As other stations on the [Line 9](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_9) project, Collblanc was built in a well structure, with a depth of 56 meters. Unlike other stations however, Collblanc doesn't feature several high-capacity elevators. Instead, 5 sets of escalators link the new platforms to the station hall. Only 2 elevators reach the platform level.[5]

Currently, due to the ongoing works to complete the central section of [Line 9](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_9) and [Line 10](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_10), only the lower platform shared by the lines is normally in use.[6]

On 8 September 2018, [Line 10](/source/Barcelona_Metro_line_10)'s southern branch became operational, with Collblanc serving as the line's temporary terminus.[7]
