?????? is a railway station in ??????, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Txorierri line.
History[edit]
The station opened in 1894 as part of the Lutxana-Mungia line. The station was located to the north of the current station, close to where Bilbao Airport was later built. In 1908 the Bilbao-Lezama line was rerouted through a new alignment which included a connection to the station. Trains started running from Bilbao to Sondika through the Bilbao-Lezama line on 23 July 1909.[2] The line was electrified in 1949.[3]
The line from Sondika to Mungia closed in March 1975 due to the lengthening of the airport runway. The station was rebuilt in its current location in the early 1990s,[citation needed] thus allowing for a direct connection between Lutxana and Lezama. After line 1 of the metro took over the Bilbao-Plentzia line in 1995, service on the Lutxana-Sondika line was suspended due to low passenger demand.[4]
During the construction of metro line 3, the old tunnel through Artxanda was closed. As a result, trains on the Txorierri line ran from Lutxana to Lezama from November 2015 to April 2017.[5] After the opening of line 3 in April 2017, train service on the Txorierri line was completely restored, with its trains running through the new tunnel and the metro line.[6] However, an hourly service from Lutxana to Sondika was kept.[4]
If the long-planned railway line to the airport is built, the station will be rebuilt underground as part of a new alignment between Ola and Sondika that will remove the need to reverse at the latter station.[7]
Services[edit]
The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E3. It runs every 15 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every 30 minutes during weekends.[8]
