The station opened in 1913 as part of the Irun-Hendaye stretch of the San Sebastián-Hendaye railway.[2] The station, originally known as Puente Internacional (Spanish for 'International Bridge', Basque: Nazioarteko Zubia), was built as a border facility. The platform was divided by a fence: passengers had to get off the train in the first half of the platform, clear the customs, and board the train again in the second half.[citation needed] The customs and border facilities have since been closed, and in 2010 the station acquired its present name.[3]
The station is served by Euskotren Trena line E2. It runs every 30 minutes throughout the week.[4]
