Bellvitge railway station
Bellvitge is a Rodalies de Catalunya commuter rail station serving the neighborhood of the same name, in the L'Hospitalet de Llobregat municipality, to the south-west of Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It is on the conventional Madrid–Barcelona railway, between and, and is served by all trains on Barcelona commuter rail service lines and, as well as some trains. Some trains on regional line also call at the station.
Opened on, the current at-grade station is projected to be put underground together with the rest of the conventional Madrid–Barcelona railway on its way through L'Hospitalet de Llobregat in the coming years. In October 2007, the construction works of the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line in Barcelona's southern access, which runs through an underground route parallel to the conventional line in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, caused a partial sudden collapse of one of the station's platforms. Due to precedent ground subsidiences in the area, the station was shut down as a preventive measure at the moment it occurred, so that there were neither fatalities nor injured people.
Gornal station, served by Barcelona Metro line 8 and several commuter rail services, is located adjacent to Bellvitge station, on the east side of it, allowing for street-level transfers between the two stations.
Rodalies de Catalunya's Bellvitge station should not be confused with the Barcelona Metro line 1 station of the same name, which is some to the west.
