Station layout
Santurtzi 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. Access • Vapor Habana St. (Casa Torre Jauregia exit) • Las Viñas St. (Las Viñas exit, closed during night time services) • Virgen del Mar Plaza (Mamariga exit) • Gernika Park (Casa Torre Jauregia exit) • Virgen del Mar Plaza (Mamariga exit) Marmariga funicular Access to the neighborhood of Mamariga from the station wasn't included in the original planning for Line 2. Construction on a funicular connecting the station to Mamariga started in late 2007. The funicular opened in September 2010, In June 2015, the funicular's Mamariga terminus was severely damaged by a fire, forcing it to close for repairs. The funicular reopened in December that year after repairs were carried out. The funicular's terminus in Mamariga is considered one of the station's entrances, not a distinct station in and of itself. Since 2013, no fare has been charged for using the funicular. The operating hours of the funicular are the same as those of the metro. On the funicular, trains depart approximately every 3 minutes. In its length, the funicular ascends . The line is double-tracked, with each track being operated independently of the other. ==Services==
