Amorebieta station

Amorebieta is a railway station in Amorebieta-Etxano, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Bilbao-San Sebastián line.

History
The station opened as part of the Bilbao-Durango line in 1882. In 1888 the Amorebieta-Guernica railway opened. The terminus of the new line had three tracks converging at a turntable as well as a track connecting it to the Bilbao-Durango line. The new terminus didn't have a dedicated passenger building, and travellers used the existing building built for the Bilbao-Durango line. In 1973 a chord was built allowing trains from Bermeo to run directly to Bilbao without having to reverse at Amorebieta, some trains from the Urdaibai line served Amorebieta until 1989. The whole station was rebuilt in 1995, together with the double-tracking of the Bilbao-San Sebastián line from Lemoa.

Services
The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E1. It runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.
