Zangroiz Station
Zangroiz is a railway station in Sondika, Basque Country, Spain. It is owned by Euskal Trenbide Sarea and operated by Euskotren. It lies on the Lutxana–Sondika line. History The station opened in 1894 as part of the Lutxana–Mungia line. 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. 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. 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. However, an hourly service from Lutxana to Sondika was kept. Services The station is served on weekday ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Biscay
Biscay (; eu, Bizkaia ; es, Vizcaya ) is a province of Spain and a historical territory of the Basque Country, heir of the ancient Lordship of Biscay, lying on the south shore of the eponymous bay. The capital and largest city is Bilbao. Biscay is one of the most renowned and prosperous provinces of Spain, historically a major trading hub in the Atlantic Ocean since medieval times and, later on, one of the largest industrial and financial centers of the Iberian peninsula. Since the extensive deindustrialization that took place throughout the 1970s, the economy has come to rely more on the services sector. Etymology It is accepted in linguistics (Koldo Mitxelena, etc.) that ''Bizkaia'' is a cognate of ''bizkar'' (cf. Biscarrosse in Aquitaine), with both place-name variants well attested in the whole Basque Country and out meaning 'low ridge' or 'prominence' (''Iheldo bizchaya'' attested in 1141 for the Monte Igueldo in San Sebastián).

Through Service
A through service is a concept of passenger transport that involves a vehicle travelling between lines, networks or operators on a regularly specified schedule, on which the passenger can remain on board without alighting. It may be in form of either the following: * A service where the vehicle travels between different lines, or systems of infrastructure, for example, a through train service between the mainline and underground railways. * A service where the vehicle changes its identity en-route without requiring passengers to alight, for example, a through tram service which runs as route 1 initially, then runs as route 2 for the latter half of the journey. The term through service may be extended to have a wider meaning encompassing a route which allows the passenger to travel without alighting, for example, in a route change announcement, if a route A-B and a route B-C is combined to A-B-C, it may be described as a new "through service" between A and C.
