Bellvitge Railway Station
Opened on 10 March 1977Madrid–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 subsidence 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.
, 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 theGornal 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 750 metres (2,460 ft) to the west.
