Euskotren is a local train operator in the Spanish Basque county. They do have a great train connection from San Sebastian / Donostia via Irun to Hendaye in France, I already covered this route in another video and there is a longer distance route between Bilbao and San Sebastian / Donostia. Between Bilbao and San Sebastian (Spanish name) / Donostia (Basque name) the train is absolutely not the fastest way to travel, however it’s a really nice way and the route is really scenic (even though I had some rainy weather when I took this train). These trains do run on a narrow gauge railway line, in the North of Spain there is a huge network of narrow gauge railway lines. Even though the trains might look more like a metro than a train, the trains for longer distances do have a toilet on board.
In the video I check out the railway stations of Bilbao, the main railway station, the FEVE station, this is for the other narrow gauge trains and the Euskotren railway station that’s close to the other railway stations, of course we check the trains & some views from the train.

Thanks for the Video, Thats a good price to travel from Bilbao to San Sebastion, I did the San Sebastian to Hendaye route after seeing your vid on that and it was about 2.50 euro each way. The new Hendaye station is finished and right next to the TGV station, thanks keep the good vids going
One day I shall live in one of these places too!
Cercanias AM is the name for Feve
And tickets aren't valid
Cercanias AM ain't the same as Cercanias
And there is Cercanias Am Media Distancia
Some Cercanias am run for hours
I find that your delivery has improved over the last videos!
Glad to know that bikes are permitted OK this train. Are bikes allowed on the high speed lines?
Hi, small comment regarding the map with different track gauges you use, the Cartagena – Los Nietos metre gauge line does not show and neither do the metre gauge and standard gauge lines radiation out of Barcelona. Love your videos, greetings from Namibia
