Barcelona commuters now have a faster rail option to Tarragona, after Rodalies launched semidirect trains on the route.
The new service cuts journey times by up to 20 minutes, with some trips now completed in just over an hour.
The change is aimed at making travel between Barcelona and Tarragona quicker and more practical for regular passengers. For readers following local transport updates, see our community coverage.
Rodalies has not changed the basic route, but the semidirect pattern means fewer stops on selected services. That is what allows the time saving on the Barcelona to Tarragona link.
