Almeda station

Almeda station.

Almeda is a railway station in Cornellà de Llobregat, near Barcelona. Since FGC's L8 is listed as a Barcelona Metro and Llobregat–Anoia line (Metro del Baix Llobregat) line, it's also considered a metro station. Besides L8, it's served by other FGC lines, namely S33, S4, S5, R5 and R6, all of which terminate at Espanya.

The station as it can currently be seen was opened on 9 July 1985, when the L8 section between Sant Josep and Cornellà became an underground service. Before then, the station was above ground. It is located under Passeig dels Ferrocarrils Catalans, between carrer de Dolors Almeda Roig (east) and carrer del Vallès (west).^[1]

The station has two platforms with the rails separating them. There are two station entrances. The eastern exit leads to the east of Carrer de Sant Ferran and starts from the eastern ends of the platforms (direction Cornellà-Riera); the western exit starts from the middle of the platforms and leads to the west of Carrer de Sant Ferran. The western exit opened in 2006.^[1]
