The R2 is a line of Rodalies de Catalunya's Barcelona commuter rail service, operated by Renfe Operadora. It is a major north–south axis in the Barcelona metropolitan area, running from the southern limits of the province of Girona to the northern limits of the province of Tarragona, via Barcelona. North of Barcelona, the R2 runs inland through the Vallès Oriental region, south of Barcelona it runs along the coast through the Garraf region. According to 2008 data, the line's average weekday ridership is 125,948, the highest on any line of the Barcelona commuter rail service.〔 All R2 trains use the Aragó Tunnel in Barcelona, where they share tracks with Rodalies de Catalunya's regional rail lines , , , and , calling at Sants and Passeig de Gràcia stations. North of Barcelona, they use the Barcelona–Cerbère railway, south of Barcelona they use the conventional Madrid–Barcelona railway. The line originally had no branches, with and serving as its only southernmost and northernmost terminus, respectively. In 2009, it took over the service offered by Barcelona commuter rail service line , incorporating the branch lines to Barcelona–El Prat Airport and Barcelona's Estació de França. A new line scheme has been in operation ever since; the services starting or terminating at the airport run northwards, using Maçanet-Massanes as their northernmost terminus, and are designated R2 ''Nord'' ("North"), whilst the ones starting or terminating at Estació de Fraça run southwards, using Sant Vicenç de Calders as their southernmost terminus, and are designated R2 ''Sud'' ("South"). The rest of the services, simply designated ''R2'', operate between and . Together with lines , and , the R2 (then simply numbered line 2) started services in 1989 as one of the first lines of the Cercanías commuter rail system for Barcelona, known as Rodalies Barcelona.〔Julià Sort (2013), p. 69–71〕 In the long-term future, it is projected to take over the R4 south of Barcelona, connecting the inland regions of the Barcelona metropolitan area. ==Infrastructure== Like the rest of Rodalies de Catalunya lines, the R2 runs on the Iberian gauge mainline railway system, which is owned by Adif, an agency of the Spanish government. All of the railway lines carrying Rodalies de Catalunya services are electrified at 3,000 volts (V) direct current (DC) using overhead lines. The R2 operates on a total line length of , which is entirely double-track, excepting for the single-track section between and Barcelona–El Prat Airport stations. The trains on the line call at up to 34 stations, using the following railway lines, in order from south to north: All of the infrastructure used by the R2 is shared with other services, excepting the section between Barcelona–El Prat Airport and El Prat de Llobregat stations, which is exclusively used by R2 Nord services. Between and Barcelona Passeig de Gràcia stations, it shares tracks with Rodalies de Catalunya's regional rail lines , , and , as well as a number of long-distance services to southern Spain, using the Aragó Tunnel through central Barcelona. regional rail services commence their route at El Prat de Llobregat or stations, joining the route of the R2 and the other regional and long-distance services from these points on to Passeig de Gràcia. After Passeig de Gràcia, R2 Sud trains, together with the R13, R14, R15 and R16, as well as long-distance services, branch off to Barcelona's Estació de França, terminating there. The rest of R2 services continue northwards through the Aragó Tunnel, calling at El Clot-Aragó railway station, and share tracks with the R11 only. North of Mollet-Sant Fost railway station, Barcelona commuter rail service line and several freight services join their route. The R8 terminates further north at , so that the R2 only shares tracks with the R11 and freight services from this point on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「R2 (Rodalies de Catalunya)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
