Larrondo is a railway station in Loiu, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Txorierri line.
History
[edit]The station was not part of the Txorierri line when it opened in 1894. Due to budget constraints, the original alignment through Mount Artxanda included prolonged steep slopes. This caused a serious accident only two months after the opening, after which the decision was taken to build a tunnel directly under the mountain.[2] The station opened on 31 October 1908, as part of the new alignment between Bilbao and Lezama.[3]
The station was renovated in 2018 after trains on the Txorierri line started running through metro Line 3.[4]
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.[5]
