Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox station

Amara is a railway station in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It is the eastern terminus of the Bilbao-San Sebastián line and is also served by the suburban Topo service.

History

The station opened in 1895 as the eastern terminus of the San Sebastián-Elgoibar railway (which at the time only reached Шаблон:Station).[1] In 1912, the San Sebastián-Hendaye line opened, connecting with the existing narrow-gauge railway at Amara.[2]

Originally, the station wasn't the terminus for the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway. Instead, it reached the city center by running on the streets. Since 1942, there railway and the city council had been in disagreement over the street-running service, and the city loop closed in 1954.[3]

The original station was located to the north of the current one. It was a provisional building built in 1900, and starting in 1912 the substitution of the station was being considered.[4] Various projects were presented, but ultimately they weren't carried out.[5] By the 1970s it was visibly obsolete, and plans for the relocation of the station started to gain traction.[6]

In 1982, the city council and Basque Railways reached an agreement for the rebuilding of the station.[5] The demolition of the old station started on 28 April 1983, with a ceremony presided by Шаблон:Ill, mayor of San Sebastián at the time.[4] Works on the current station building started in 1988,[5] and by mid-1989 it was nearing completion.[7] It was officially inaugurated on 27 June 1990.[5]

As part of the new underground loop through the city center, the station will close and be replaced by a new underground station.[8] The tracks will be dismantled and apartment buildings will be built in the former station area.[9]

Services

The station is served by Euskotren Trena lines E1, E2 and E5. Line E1 runs every 30 minutes (in each direction) during weekdays, and every hour during weekends.[10]

Lines E2 and E5 form the suburban Topo service. Line E2 runs every 15 minutes to and from Шаблон:Station during weekdays, and every 30 minutes during weekends. In the Шаблон:Station direction, line E2 runs every 15 minutes during weekdays and weekend afternoons, and every 30 minutes on weekend mornings. Line E5 serves the Шаблон:Station 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.[11]
