Future

When Line 3 of Metro Bilbao opens, this station will lost connection with EuskoTren, as the trains will use the rail tracks of Metro Bilbao from Etxebarri Station to Casco Viejo Station, therefore losing connection with this station and Bilbao-Atxuri Station. Anyway, both stations will be used by EuskoTran, who will use the current rail tracks to reach the station. Euskotran and Metro Bilbao will then be connected on this station.
