23-May-22: 'La Sagrera transport hub 60% complete, will serve 50 million passengers when open'
The Sagrera train station and transport hub, under construction for years and over budget by six times, is now 60% complete. The Spanish transport minister said today that the station will serve 50 million passengers a year when it’s in operation.
So far, 540 of the 920 million euros budgeted for the La Sagrera station have been spent on the project. The hub will connect metro, commuter trains, high-speed trains, and bus services. The T-Mobilitat tap-and-go transport card for passengers is expected to be rolled out across Catalonia by 2024.
18% of road accident victims so far in 2022 have been motorcyclists, with almost a hundred seriously injured. Of the 65 deaths this year, 12 were motorcyclists. Police forces are carrying out an intensive campaign this week to promote safety.
Spain’s former king has ended his first visit to the country after leaving for Abu Dhabi amid corruption scandals almost two years ago. When asked if he would explain the circumstances of his departure or the now archived investigations, Juan Carlos responded, “Explanations for what?”
Migrant rescue NGO Open Arms has a new ship in its fleet, the Open Arms Uno, which has docked in Barcelona. The vessel stretches 66 metres and has capacity for 1,000 refugees. Soon it will head for the Mediterranean to take part in search and rescue missions.
The Tarraco Viva festival celebrating ancient Roman history held the first full weekend of its 24th edition in Tarragona. This year’s edition, lasting until Sunday, sees 300 activities put on with a budget of over €200,000. Organizers hope to recover pre-pandemic attendance figures, with around 17,000 spectators.
