Kurtzea 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 station was opened together with the Txorierri line in 1894.[2] It was the terminus of the line until 1994, when the line was extended by one station to bring the railway closer to the main population center.[3]

The station was renovated in 2018 after trains on the Txorierri line started running through metro line 3.[4]

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.[5]
