The plan to extend the Trambaix tram to the centre of Sant Feliu de Llobregat has taken another formal step forward after the board of the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM), the Barcelona metropolitan transport authority, approved the technical report answering objections filed during the public consultation period.

For residents and regular commuters in Sant Feliu, the decision matters because it keeps alive a project intended to bring the tram closer to the town centre, where rail works and street changes linked to the undergrounding of the railway line are reshaping local mobility. The latest decision does not mean construction is starting yet, but it clears the way for the planning process to continue.

The decision concerns the Informative Study for the extension of the Trambaix to central Sant Feliu, in Baix Llobregat. ATM had already given initial approval to the study in June 2025, opening a public information period for objections and comments.

ATM approves reply to objections

According to the latest reporting on 7 July 2026, ATM's board approved the technical document that responds to the allegations submitted during that public consultation. This is one of the administrative steps needed before the scheme can progress to later phases.

The Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Transport Authority has approved the technical report responding to the allegations submitted during the public information period for the Informative Study on the extension of the Trambaix to the centre of Sant Feliu de Llobregat.

The project had received initial approval on 13 June 2025. At that stage, the study set out the proposed extension and was published so residents, organisations and other affected parties could examine it and submit objections.

  • Initial approval of the informative study: 13 June 2025
  • Latest ATM board step approving responses to objections: 7 July 2026
  • Location affected: central Sant Feliu de Llobregat, in Baix Llobregat

Why this affects Sant Feliu residents

The extension is designed to bring the Trambaix beyond its current reach and closer to the urban centre of Sant Feliu. For people living in the municipality, that could eventually change how they reach shops, public services and rail connections, particularly as the area continues to adapt to the long-running railway undergrounding works.

Those undergrounding works have been directly linked to the tram extension timetable in earlier reporting. In March 2023, ATM put the study out to tender for taking the tram to the centre of Sant Feliu once the undergrounding project was complete, a link explicitly reported at the time by elBaix.cat.

The municipality has been discussing how the tram should enter the town centre for several years, but the current step is specifically about the formal planning file now under review by ATM.

What happens next in the process

The approval of the responses to objections means the informative study can continue through the administrative route, but the available source material does not state a final construction date or the exact start of works.

Residents who want the most detailed plans or future announcements should watch for updates from the ATM and Sant Feliu de Llobregat's local channels, where public documents and later project notices are typically published when the file advances.

For now, the concrete fact is that ATM has completed its review of the objections submitted after the study's initial approval, keeping the Trambaix extension to central Sant Feliu in motion.
