Estació Martorell Enllaç / Martorell Enllaç Station

Martorell Enllaç station is a major stop on the FGC (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya) metre-​gauge railway line from the Plaça de Epanya terminus in Barcelona, forming the junction of the lines to the towns of Manresa and Igualada and serving the substantial industrial and dormitory town of Martorell. There is a large depot and signalling centre adjacent to the station, as well as a separate platform (with the original station buildings) for an occasional service of steam-​hauled tourist trains.
Although the line to Igualada was opened in 1893, the station was not opened in 1912, when it became the junction (‘enllaç’ means ‘junction’ in Catalan) of the extension from Barcelona. It became a junction in the true sense when the line to Manresa was built 1922 – 24. One of the historic steam locomotives graces a roundabout just outside the station, as well as the operational ones which run the tourist service.
The station consists of a single island platform, and has recently been completely rebuilt, with lifts to the footbridge which provide level access throughout. Facilities are otherwise limited to waiting shelters, ticket machines and vending machines selling snacks and drinks.
It has a frequent service (roughly every ten minutes off-​peak) of mostly stopping trains to Barcelona; it is served by the S8 trains which terminate here, S4 trains to Olesa de Montserrat, R5 trains to Manresa Baixador and R6 trains to Igualada.
