Lezama Station
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
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. In 1994, the railway was extended and a new station was built closer to the population center of the town.
In October 2009, a 300 series train crashed into a buffer stop at the station, killing the driver and injuring several passengers.
The station was renovated in 2018 after trains on the Txorierri line started running through metro line 3.
Services
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.
