History

edit

The station wasn't part of the line when it opened in 1912.[2] It was built in 1992 as an infill station, at the same time as Belaskoenea and Anoeta on the same line.[3]

As part of the new alignment of the line between Herrera and Galtzaraborda, the station will be put underground. Works started in early 2022 and their completion is scheduled for 2027.[4]

Services

edit

The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E2. It runs every 15 minutes during weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings.[5]
