More than twenty train stations in Catalonia are undergoing works this summer, involving the construction of new buildings or the renovation of existing ones, with significant investments from Renfe and Adif.

This summer, over twenty train stations across Catalonia are undergoing improvement or construction works. These initiatives, driven by Renfe and Adif, include the creation of new buildings and the modernization of existing ones, aiming to enhance the region's railway infrastructure.
Renfe has five major projects underway, notably the one in Molins de Rei, budgeted at over 9 million euros to include a new building and track redistribution. Additionally, minor interventions are being carried out at five other stations to improve lighting, flooring, and ceilings. The renovation of the Barcelona-El Clot station hall (1.6 million) and accessibility improvements in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda-La Florida (2.2 million) are also in progress. The rehabilitation of Cornellà station, dating back to 1855, has a budget of 1.7 million.
Adif, on its part, is constructing six new stations and modernizing four. The most significant investment is around Barcelona Sants station, with 150 million euros allocated for facility expansion and surrounding area restoration. New stations are also being built in Sant Feliu de Llobregat (22.8 million) and Montcada i Reixac (with two new buildings for 13.6 and 7 million respectively), as part of track-burying projects. Other new stations include Reus Bellissens (10 million) and Parets del Vallès (12.3 million).
In parallel, Adif is drafting projects for new renovations or constructions at stations such as Barcelona-Fabra i Puig, El Clot, Figueres, Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Mollet, Montcada-Manresa, and Tordera. Works are also planned for Girona (2.9 million for urbanizing Plaça d'Espanya) and Viladecans (5.4 million for general improvements).
The Minister of Territory, Sílvia Paneque, highlighted the importance of these investments in improving the comfort and accessibility of the Rodalies (commuter rail) system. She emphasized the creation of the mixed-ownership company Rodalies de Catalunya, which will manage the infrastructure. The works are concentrated mainly on lines R1, R2, and R2 Sud, serving 80% of the users.
