Transport in Castelldefels

Castelldefels is both a dormitory town, with many commuters driving everyday into Barcelona, and an important locality in itself.

The line, however, was effectively deemed completely unpractical, and dropped out of the final draft for the area, instead requiring a reform of Rodalies Barcelona, with a new line from Castelldefels to L'Hospitalet de Llobregat or Cornellà.

Twelve people were killed, and fourteen injured: the majority of the victims were of Latin American origin, particularly from Ecuador.

[1] The accident occurred on St. John's Eve,[2] a major celebration in Catalonia as well as in other parts of Spain and in several other European countries.

The victims were apparently trying to get to the beach less than 200 metres from the station, where a concert by Ecuadorian singer Rubén de Rey had been organized.
