In 2015, it was announced that the current at-grade station is to be put underground together with a 300-metre-long (980 ft) line portion, removing the only level crossing in town.

[4] Originally, it was envisaged that Igualada would be part of the Madrid to Barcelona railway through central Catalonia.

On 9 July 1893 (1893-07-09), the railway eventually arrived in Igualada in the form of a narrow gauge line from Martorell, built and operated by Ferrocarril Central Catalán ("Catalan Central Railway"), which would later become the current Llobregat–Anoia Line.

In 1978, the original station was replaced with a new one in the southeastern part of town, resulting in the dismantling of about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) of railway lines through the city center, including the removal of several busy level crossings and the demolition of the original station building.

The recovered land allowed for the extension of the Passeig Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer boulevard.
