Future

The Basque Y high-speed rail network is planned to connect Vitoria-Gasteiz with the French border, San Sebastián and Bilbao within 35 minutes. However, work on this project has been slow and there is no date for its inaugural run.[2] As part of these works, Vitoria-Gasteiz station will be rebuilt underground.[3]
