Updates

Reference to Barcelona Estació de França, with an accompanying link to the Wikipedia entry seemed to most glaring omission. With it, some mention of the one taking over from the other seems rather relevant information. Hence the comparative modernity of Sants station in railway station history and design also seems pretty pertinent to this entry.

It also needs the AVE section to be updated, now this is now in operation.

The point on gauges may be somewhat eclectic, but is surely not without some relevance in an article as specific as this?

I have also added a bit of text on local services about what are surely the 2 most important - those to the airport and those to the sea at Sitges. This seems to give some context to next section and make it a little more relevant.

First east-west regional line?

Their are now three East-West railway tunnel lines running through Barcelona. The last one is only for normal gauge fast trains. On the 1908 map the East-West overground railway connection is shown. This probably used for the mainline trains going to Barcelona França. The same route is still in use but underground, so I suspect the railway line was in a cutting and covered up. (the elimation of steamtrains made this posible) In the 1970s a new supplementary railtunnel was built from Barcelona Sants to Barcelona F.C. Del Nord, close to the present day Arc de Triomf station. This station still exist but is converted to a busstation. (see Commons:Category:Estació del Nord (Barcelona)) So the text should be: second east-west regional line running under the centre of Barcelona. Of course before the 1970s the regional train where much more limited. Smiley.toerist (talk) 13:44, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
