Metro Bilbao experienced widespread delays in both directions on Wednesday afternoon, April 15, attributed to technical issues within its facilities.

The Metro Bilbao service was significantly affected by a series of delays on Wednesday afternoon, stemming from technical incidents. The disruption began around 4:00 PM and persisted until 7:00 PM, causing considerable inconvenience for passengers.
Suburban staff worked diligently to restore normal service as quickly as possible. Efforts were focused on resolving the issues impacting operations, although the effects lasted for several hours.
Some users reported the evacuation of a unit at Basarrate station. This measure is common in such incidents, aiming to prevent further delays by allowing units to turn around in the opposite direction, thereby reorganizing circulation and minimizing the impact on the rest of the network.
