Camp de Tarragona railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camp de Tarragona is a railway station which opened on 19 December 2006, on the high-speed line between Madrid and Barcelona. Situated between the municipalities of La Secuita and Perafort[1], some 8 km north of Tarragona itself, the new station serves an area with an estimated population of over 400,000.
The station complex, covering 5.2 hectares, has eight standard-gauge tracks (four platform roads and four central through roads), two 400-metre-long island platforms, passenger handling facilities, a travel centre, shops, and parking for 648 vehicles.
Pending the planned completion in late 2007[2] of the next section of the Madrid – Barcelona high-speed line, between Camp de Tarragona and Barcelona Sants railway station, trains between Madrid and Barcelona change gauge at the Roda de Barà gauge-changing installation some 13 km east of Camp de Tarragona.
The final completion to the French frontier is planned for 2012.
