Sitges Railway Station

Sitges is a Rodalies de Catalunya railway station serving Sitges, in Catalonia, Spain. It is served by Barcelona commuter rail service line R2 Sud as well as some trains on regional lines R13, R14 and R15.

The station has three platforms: platform 1 is the location of the main ticket office and waiting room as well as the entrance and exit to the station. Platforms 2 and 3 form an island platform which are accessed by an underground subway from platform 1.

Unfortunately, disabled access to platforms 2 and 3 is very problematical, as the elevators are frequently out of service. This in turn creates a problem for those arriving from the Barcelona direction as the only way to descend from the platform is by stairs or the troublesome elevators. When the elevators are out of action, as is frequently the case, a wheelchair user has to travel to the next station, Vilanova i la Geltrú, then return to Sitges to be able to exit the station via platform 1.

Coming from Barcelona the preceding station is Garraf and the following station is Vilanova i la Geltrú.
