Herrera is a railway station in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway, popularly known as the Topo line. The Cercanías San Sebastián station of the same name [es] is located close to the Euskotren station, but the two are not connected.

History

[edit]

The station opened in 1912 as part of the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway. Originally it was a freight station.[2]

The current station is part of the new alignment between Loiola and Herrera that opened in October 2012.[3] The original single-track tunnel was replaced by a new double-tracked one, and a new station was built at Intxaurrondo. In September 2016, the branch from Herrera to Altza opened.[4]

Services

[edit]

The station is served by Euskotren Trena lines E2 and E5. Line E2 runs every 15 minutes during weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings. Line E5 serves the Altza branch, running every 15 minutes on weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings. This gives a combined headway between Amara and Herrera of 7.5 minutes during most of the week.[5]
