Hi - does anyone know if I can get a speedy overground train from Sants to Placa de Catalunya, or nearby? I believe they stop at Passeig de Gracia...?
How often? How quick? Crowded? How much?

Ta!!

Sants is one stop from Placa de Catalunya

Hola!

You can get from Sans Estació to Plaça Catalunya by metro (L3 - green line), you can also go by bus but i think it's longer than the metro.
Metro and buses are very crowded in the morning and in the evening to go to work and school.
Here is the tmb address whit all the public transportation you can use as well as the schedules, lines and trasnfers: http://www.tmb.cat/ca_ES/home.jsp

Ciao!

Thanks, but I'm interested in the train - not the Metro.

And, Julien, is there an actual train stop at Catalunya, or is it at Passeig de Gracia?

The Train stop is at Passeig de Gracia, Catalunya is pretty close to it (5-10 mins walking)

Yeah, that's good. So, essentially, to get from Sants to around Placa de Catalunya, the overground train is actually a better option that the Metro, only being 1 stop? Otherwise, on the Metro, I see you have to change at least once?!?
