The Basque Railway Museum operated by Euskotren, a publicly-owned company of the Basque Government, will run three steam trains next weekend. These services are part of the regular season that will continue until November.

The Basque Railway Museum boasts one of the best railway collections in Europe featuring a whole range of vehicles: electric, diesel and steam locomotives, railcars and different types of carriages. It also has one of the Basque Country’s most comprehensive sets of machine tools from the former Urola railway repair shop. There is also a display of railway uniforms from the end of the 19th century and one of the best railway clock collections in the world.

The summer timetable (July and August) at the Basque Railway Museum will start on Wednesday 1 July. The new opening hours of the Azpeitia facilities will be as follows:

The steam trains will run every Saturday and Sunday in July. They will run at 12.00 noon and 5.30 p.m. on Saturdays and at 12.00 noon on Sundays and bank holidays.
