Alstom reveals new Coradia Stream train design for FGC

French rolling stock manufacturer Alstom has revealed the design of its new Coradia Stream single-deck trains for Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC), the railway provider in the Catalunya region in north east Spain.

These trains will provide rapid connection services between central Barcelona and Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, starting in 2026.

Developed and manufactured at Alstom’s industrial site in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, near Barcelona, the new trains are designed for airport journeys – with more space for bags than usual, and airport information screens onboard.

Each five-car Coradia Stream train will have ten doors on each side, with a total of 209 seats (202 fixed and seven folding), accommodating up to 656 passengers.

The trains will also feature audible signals and a lighting system, including green for opening and red for closing, to assist hearing-impaired passengers.

They will include 20 panoramic screens for train information and nine for airport information, providing real-time data on flight departures and arrivals.
