Despite the huge commercial development in downtown Barcelona, França station remains an impressive and commanding structure. The pair of huge iron arches look superb heralding the arrival (or departure) at what was once the city's primary station. Now, it plays a secondary role to Saints station but it is still a firm favourite with many. On this hot late afternoon, an unidentified Rodalies Class 46X and Renfe's 130 023 await their next turns of duty.
