Reina Elisenda (Barcelona–Vallès Line)

Reina Elisenda is a railway station on the Barcelona–Vallès Line, in Sarrià, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona. It is the northern terminus and only station of a branch line coming from Sarrià station. Since 2016, a single-track shuttle service, designated L12, links the two stations at four-minute intervals during rush hours due to the modification of Sarrià station to enhance access for persons with reduced mobility; before that, it was served as a branch line of L6.[2]
