Lezama is a railway station in Lezama, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Txorierri line.

History

[edit]

The original terminus of the line was the nearby Kurtzea station (originally known as Lezama station), which was opened together with the Txorierri line in 1894.[2] In 1994,[3][4] the railway was extended and a new station was built closer to the population center of the town.[5]

In October 2009, a 300 series train crashed into a buffer stop at the station, killing the driver and injuring several passengers.[6]

The station was renovated in 2018 after trains on the Txorierri line started running through metro line 3.[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]
