PunctualityUnfortunately, I have to report that my train was anything but punctual. I had to wait a whole 36 minutes from the station in Barcelona until my train finally arrived. At least I had a stable network connection and good reception, so I was able to call my wife, who was already waiting for me in Tarragona. The toilets weren't super clean, but they were okay.

-The Regional Express #35587 from Barcelona to Tarragona gets my full recommendation! The train journey offered unexpected comfort and was also hard to beat in terms of cost. The train started its journey, which took just under an hour, on time. Perfect for this route, as the train arrived at its destination station on time. The seats are certainly suitable for short journeys and the train made a clean impression. And the unbeatable argument in favour of this connection was the incredibly low fare. I would never have thought of such an offer at that price. Another plus point was the beautiful view of the Catalan coastal region. Unfortunately, it was not possible to get a seat with a panoramic view, but even if you could only catch a brief glimpse of the wonderful landscape, the train journey was well worth it. The service on the journey was pleasant. I was always helped in a friendly and kind manner. This helped to make the journey even more enjoyable. For all travellers on this route, the Regional Express #35587 will be remembered as a fast, comfortable and extremely inexpensive connection. It is highly recommended!
