| description | At the time of visiting in 2014 two sets of three routes operate in different parts of the city, but work was underway to join the two networks via Diagonal to create one network that spans the centre of the city. Modern low floor trams provide a regular service during the day that becomes very infrequent at night. A heritage tram line runs up to the funicular railway at Mount Tibidabo using historic Barcelona trams (not included in the integrated ticketing) | |

| description | Efficient, clean and light on the platforms though at most of the stations you have to walk a long way to connect to other lines and in some places down some quite unpleasant (dirty and not particularly well lit) passage ways. Displays on the platform countdown the seconds till the next train. Most of the trains appear to be relatively modern and clean though there is only limited seating | |
