Adif Alta Velocidad is to allocate 26.8 million euros to renovate facilities at Barcelona-Sants to improve the station's facilities and passenger comfort, as a preliminary step to its forthcoming expansion and transformation into a benchmark for sustainable mobility.

Adif will undertake various works, including the replacement of elements of an exterior part of the roof of the passenger building, work on the slab over the platforms to reinforce their waterproofing and the pavement, and the implementation of new rainwater drainage systems, with the installation of collectors.

These works, which have just been put out to tender, will be programmed without affecting the railway service and minimising the impact on passengers, and are in addition to those currently being undertaken at the station, focusing on the platforms and the boarding hall.

Upcoming transformation into a benchmark for sustainability

Adif is tackling these improvements while promoting the Barcelona-Sants transformation project to turn it into a benchmark station for the new sustainable mobility, integrated into the urban environment and oriented towards citizens and passengers, which will respond to the increase in rail traffic resulting from the liberalisation of passenger rail transport. With this same purpose, progress is also being made on the construction of the new La Sagrera station, the so-called 'station of stations'.

These actions contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 (promoting reliable, sustainable and quality infrastructures) and Goal 11 (promoting access to sustainable modes of transport).
