Sarrià station is the junction point between Barcelona Metro line L12 to Reina Elisenda, and the Metro del Vallès lines L6, S1 and S2 to Sant Cugat, Terrassa and Sabadell.

The station originally had four tracks, with three island platform between them, and three accesses. As part of making the station wheelchair-accessible, the former third track was filled in to create a single island platform for L6, S1 and S2, while L12 uses the second island platform. The two pairs of tracks join in a flat junction just to the south of the station.[2][3]

The first Sarrià station opened in 1863 and was situated at ground level. The current station was opened in 1974. The station was rebuilt and made wheelchair-accessible in 2017, and it is expected to become part of the central section of TMB double line L9 & L10 by 2028.[2]
