Santurtzi is a station on Line 2 of the Bilbao Metro. It is located in the municipality of Santurtzi. It opened, together with the neighboring Peñota station, on 4 July 2009.[3]
There is a station on the Cercanías Bilbao commuter railway network with the same name, but the two stations are not connected.
Station layout
Santurtzi station follows the typical cavern-shaped layout of most underground Metro Bilbao stations designed by Norman Foster, with the main hall located directly above the rail tracks.
Access
Vapor Habana St. (Casa Torre Jauregia exit)- Las Viñas St. (Las Viñas exit, closed during night time services)
Virgen del Mar Plaza (Mamariga exit)
Gernika Park (Casa Torre Jauregia exit)- Virgen del Mar Plaza (Mamariga exit)
Marmariga funicular
Access to the neighborhood of Mamariga from the station wasn't included in the original planning for Line 2. Construction on a funicular connecting the station to Mamariga started in late 2007.[4] The funicular opened in September 2010,[5] more than a year after the station itself.[6] In June 2015, the funicular's Mamariga terminus was severely damaged by a fire, forcing it to close for repairs. The funicular reopened in December that year after repairs were carried out.[7]
The funicular's terminus in Mamariga is considered one of the station's entrances, not a distinct station in and of itself.[8] Since 2013, no fare has been charged for using the funicular.[9] The operating hours of the funicular are the same as those of the metro. On the funicular, trains depart approximately every 3 minutes.[5] In its 353 m (0.219 mi) length, the funicular ascends 42 m (138 ft). The line is double-tracked, with each track being operated independently of the other.[10]
Services
The station is served by Line 2 from Kabiezes to Basauri with headways from five to ten minutes. Bus stops near the station are served by Bizkaibus regional services.
