On Thursday 5 November, Euskotren to run a special train service for the Real Sociedad – Olympique Lyonnais match

Euskotren will put on extra trains to make it easier to travel and from the Real Sociedad – Olympique Lyonnais football match, to be held at the Anoeta stadium from 6.45 p.m. on Thursday 17 September. Euskotren will run special trains to Hendaye, Lasarte/Oria and Zumaia for passengers returning from the match. 

The two lobbies at Anoeta station will be open for the return journeys to speed up access to the platforms. Depending on their destination, passengers using the Topo line should follow these instructions:

• To take the train bound for Hendaye, access to the platforms will be from new lobby which will be exclusively used for services going east. 

• Passengers travelling to Amara, Lugaritz, Lasarte-Oria should use the main entrance of the old lobby, which is currently being completely refurbished, but will be opened specifically for the matches and major events at Anoeta. 

• Passengers bound for Usurbil and Zumaia should also access the station through the old lobby, but by the door next to the Gasca sports centre. 

The new lobby may need to be temporarily closed before the match when ordered by the Home Office of the Basque Government, as per the safety and security issues surrounding fan access management to the stadium for European competitions. Therefore, fans should always follow the instructions of the authorised staff to enter and exit Anoeta station properly.
