Sestao is a station on line 2 of the Bilbao metro. It is located in central Sestao, in close proximity to the city hall and the Santa María church. It opened on 8 January 2005 and it acted as northern terminus for line 2 until the opening of the Portugalete extension in 2007.[3] [4]
There is a station on the Cercanías Bilbao commuter railway network with the same name, but the two stations are not connected.
Sestao 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.
The station is served by line 2 from Basauri to Kabiezes. The station is also served by Bizkaibus regional bus services.
In 2022, it was announced that a tunnel will connect both banks of the Ibaizabal-Nervión estuary in 2028, incorporating a shuttle train that will connect the Sestao and Areeta (Line 1) stations in four minutes.[5] Work on the tunnel is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2024, with a planned investment of 450 million euros.[6]
