How many train routes does FGC run?
3 of the routes in this atlas are FGC services, covering 106.5 km across 1 country (Spain). That is what this atlas draws, not the operator's whole network — a national railway runs thousands of local services no map of notable journeys would list.
What is the fastest FGC train?
The Tren dels Llacs, Lleida to La Pobla de Segur, at up to 90 km/h. Its fastest scheduled run takes 2 h 30 min over 89 km.
Does FGC run night trains?
Not in this atlas. All 3 FGC routes listed here are daytime services.
When was FGC founded?
Wikidata records the company's inception as 1979, and files it as a government agency. The oldest railway it runs over in this atlas opened in 1892 — the line and the company are rarely the same age, and this page dates both.
