Lemoa is a railway station in Lemoa, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Bilbao-San Sebastián line.

History

The station opened as part of the Bilbao-Durango line in 1882.[2] Passenger traffic increased notably after 1913, when an interchange with the interurban Arratia tram was built. A Cementos Portland [es] cement factory adjacent to the station was an important source of freight traffic starting in the 1920s.[3] In December 2004, works on the rebuilding of the station and the removal of a nearby level crossing started. The level crossing was removed in 2006, and the new station opened in 2008.[4]

Services

The station is served by Euskotren Trena lines E1 and E4. Each of them runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.[5][6]
