A trip report on a track gauge changing train from San Sebastian / Donostia, close to the French border, in Spain to Barcelona via Pamplona. These trains will use both the main line Iberian gauge tracks and the high-speed line between Zaragoza & Barcelona.
In the video I’ll briefly show the railway station of San Sebastian, the trains and some views from the train on this route.

Fun fact! At 13:46 you captured the "Platanito" or class 443, based on the italian 401, which served as a prototype and now sits abandoned in Castejón.
San Sebastián en castellano, Donostia en vascuence
Thanks, great information. Gracias por la información
An alternative instead of traveling by air from Barcelona to Sn Sebastian.
Thanks for another video on the great Spanish rail system and this looks like a really interesting regional journey. The gauge changing seems miraculous to me. Looking forward to seeing you review the Swiss gauge changing trains when they go into service too.
Thanks for the great videos I will be traveling from southern Spain in September to Galicia and the Basque using the Alvia to Santiago. I was not able to watch your video from Bilbao to San Sebastian, it said it was private
Nice!
Great video! The renfe station in San Sebastian is currently being completely rebuilt. The new station should open in 2025. Also, in 2025, the Amara euskotren station will be replaced by two underground stations in the the city centre.
Last, they are also going to be build a new station connecting renfe cercanias and euskotren.
When are you planning on publishing the Bilbao – Donosti trip report????
