TRAMS - Barcelona

Trams - 20 Alstom Citadis Type 302 + 7 on ordered.

This tram system links Barcelona (Plaça Francesc Macià) to several towns in the Baix Llobregat County, such as Esplugues, Cornellà, Sant Just Desvern and Sant Joan Despí. This system consists of 3 lines, which share a common stretch from Francesc Macià to Montesa in Esplugues, where T3 branches off towards Sant Just Desvern. The extension from Sant Martí de l'Erm to Torreblanca (previously Consell Comarcal) opened on 5 Jan 2006). A 1-stop extension to Sant Feliu/Consell Comarcal was added on 21 April 2007. T1 is actually only a shortened version of T2, both lines running to Cornellà Centre (with an underground station under the Renfe tracks and next to the L5 metro station) and further on to Bon Viatge in Sant Joan Despí, terminus for T1. T2 continues from there for another 3 stops to Sant Martí de l'Erm. The total length of the Trambaix network is 15.1 km.
The Tramvia Blau, the blue tram route, was part of the original Barcelona tram system and celebrates 100 years in operation in 2011. The old Barcelona tram lines were closed in 1971, but the Tramvia Blau route was kept open as a tourist attraction to show how transport was in the early twentieth century in Barcelona and because it is a nice way to get to the Tibidabo amusement Park and Tibidabo hill. The Tramvia Blau tram line takes you from Plaça de John F. Kennedy up the Avinguda de Tibidabo, which is a beautiful street with wonderful old houses and it ends at Plaça del Doctor Andreu, (also called Pl. Funicular) where it connects with the Tibidabo funicular railway. Click on the links below to see the Blue Tram route and start/end stations. Although the name of the service is blue tram, you can sometimes also see a red tram on the route, which is tram number 129.
