Opened in 1856, Tarragona station has an uncertain future due to the arrival of the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line at a new station called Camp de Tarragona, as well as the opening of an upgraded section of the Valencia−Sant Vicenç de Calders railway bypassing the city of Tarragona. Officially called a "provisional station",{{cite news |url=http://www.adn.es/local/lleida/20100325/NWS-1878-AVE-Renfe-kilometros-actuales-supere.html |title=Renfe prevé que el AVE supere los actuales 300 kilómetros por hora este año |accessdate=31 January 2011 |date=25 March 2010 |work=ADN |language=Spanish |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111108044351/http://www.adn.es/local/lleida/20100325/NWS-1878-AVE-Renfe-kilometros-actuales-supere.html |archive-date=8 November 2011 |url-status=dead }} it is actually 10 kilometers from the centre of Tarragona, with all long-distance services being rerouted by the upgraded and high-speed lines, calling at Camp de Tarragona station instead.
