This railway service uses the Madrid–Hendaye railway line, serving 30 stations. Dual gauge is being installed in the section between Astigarraga and Irun.^[3] When completed, it will be possible to extend the commuter rail service to Bayonne in France.^[4] Despite running parallel to Euskotren's suburban service between San Sebastián and Irun, the lines lack a proper interchange station, with only out of station interchanges available. The construction of a new station at Riberas de Loiola has been proposed, this station would add a direct connection between the two networks.^[5]
