History
editThe station opened in 1894 as part of the Lutxana–Mungia line.[2] The line, which starting in 1975 ran only from Lutxana to Sondika, saw passenger service until 1996. Starting on 1 January 1997, service between Lutxana and Sondika was suspended due to low demand.[3]
During the construction of metro line 3, the old tunnel through Artxanda was closed. As a result, trains on the Txorierri line ran from Lutxana to Lezama from November 2015 to April 2017, with Zangroiz seeing passenger traffic for the first time in almost twenty years.[4] After the opening of line 3 in April 2017, train service on the Txorierri line was completely restored, with its trains running through the new tunnel and the metro line.[5] However, an hourly service from Lutxana to Sondika was kept.[3]
Services
editThe station is served on weekdays by an hourly shuttle service (line E3a) from Sondika to Lutxana.[6]
