Not sure if anyone is interested in the outcome of this query, but here goes anyway.
Was due into Barcelona at 1815; BA left an hour late so missed the 1900 but comfortably caught the 2000. Only took it as far as Tarragona (about an hour) and a friend picked me up at the bus station.
Thanks everyone for all help and information.
(Had a fairly unpleasant experience when I got off the bus. Had loaded my case into the luggage hold when I boarded, but hadn't noticed that it was on the far side of the hold when I got off. Rather than walk round, I reached in and started pulling my case from the other side. The lazy b***** of a driver not only hadn't got out to help passengers unload their cases, but, without checking his mirrors, pushed the button to close the hold door. With me half in and half out, it hit me on the back and somehow spun me out onto the pavement, where I landed on my bottom. Not good. A very nice Spanish man and his two daughters rushed to pick me up and dust me down. Not hurt, more just shocked.
A huge row then erupted between the nice man and the driver with me throwing my twopence worth in, in Spanish, as to why he would be ready to drive off without checking his mirror. An interesting start to my holiday.)
