The RT2 is a line of Rodalies de Catalunya's Tarragona commuter rail service, operated by Renfe Operadora. It links in the Costa Daurada area with , in Baix Penedès, through the city of Tarragona. The RT2 shares tracks for most of its length with regional rail lines , R16 and R17, as well as Barcelona commuter rail service line R4.[2]
RT2 services started operating in 2014, initially running between and stations, again through Tarragona. It became the first commuter service to use the Valencia-Sant Vicenç de Calders railway, originally designed to serve regional as well as inter-city rail. On 13 January 2020, the RT2 was shortened, so that it began to operate in its current configuration. This shortening came up as a result of the opening of a new inland line between Tarragona and L'Ametlla de Mar, and the closure of the coastal line beyond Port Aventura.
