R8 trains started operating on 26 junio 2011 after a service restructuring affecting the Barcelona commuter rail service. The R7 , which had Previously run between Martorell and L'Hospitalet estaciones vía Barcelona and Barcelona, was shortener and started operating between Cerdanyola Universidad and Barcelona Sant Andreu Arenal estaciones. The newly created R8 took over the former route of line R7 between Martorell and Cerdanyola Universidad estaciones, then continuing eastwards to Granollers Centro railway station , without entering Barcelona.
