Mollerussa demands correction of its name at the train station: an error affecting its identity

An error that does not go unnoticed

The city of Mollerussa is at the centre of a controversy related to local identity, following the discovery of an error in the signs at its train station. The Town Hall has formally requested that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) correct the name displayed on the signs, where it reads ‘Mollerusa’ instead of the correct ‘Mollerussa’. This spelling mistake is repeated on all four signs visible from the building's facades.

The mayor, Marc Solsona, has expressed his concern about how this error affects the image and identity of Mollerussa. In his statements, Solsona emphasised that it is crucial for the community to maintain an appropriate and accurate representation of their city's name. “We cannot allow a simple mistake to affect our identity,” he stated during a meeting with the coordinator responsible for Cercanías at FGC, Ramon Vall.

Aside from the issue with the sign, the Town Hall has also been working to regain control over the building. For years, the station has remained closed to the public due to complications related to ownership. In this context, Mollerussa had previously requested the transfer of the building from Adif for municipal use.

On February 24, it was announced that FGC would take over the management of the 14 stations along the RL3 line up to Anoia. This includes not only Mollerussa but also other towns such as Bell-lloc d’Urgell and Tàrrega. The intervention by FGC promises to bring a series of significant reforms aimed at improving the facilities and adapting them to modern standards.

Among the planned improvements are works to upgrade the facilities that have been closed for years and to enhance overall safety. Additionally, advanced systems will be installed to inform travellers in real-time and automatic equipment to facilitate ticket purchases.

As this process progresses, both the Town Hall and the citizens hope to see positive changes not only regarding the erroneous sign but also concerning the effective use of public space. The correction of the name is seen as a first step towards a broader revitalisation that could benefit both residents and visitors.
