Barcelona is set to gain a new semi-direct Rodalies service to Tarragona, with some journeys taking a little over an hour. The new route is being launched by the Department of Territory.

The express service is designed to cut travel times by up to 20 minutes compared with current options. It is aimed at making rail travel between the two cities quicker and more practical for regular passengers.
