 TOPO

Euskotren operates the "Topo", a metre-gauge suburban line that is being upgraded to become a Valencia-style metro line (temporarily labelled 'Metro Donostialdea'). The existing 28.6 km line connects Lasarte-Oria with Hendaia in France, with trains currently reversing at Donostia-Amara.

On 10 March 2005, a 3.3 km section of the suburban railway operated by Euskotren was double-tracked partly along a new alignment, including a 1.8 km tunnel and a new underground station, Lugaritz. Although not really a metro station, it is linked to the terminus Amara in the city centre about every 8-15 minutes.

On 4 Oct 2012, a new tunnel was built between Loiola and Herrera, with a new underground station at Intxaurrondo and Herrera station being put underground at the same time. A covered station also named Intxaurrondo had been added to Renfe's Cercanías line on 12 May 2011.

On 12 Sept 2016, a branch from Herrera to Altza was added to the network, with trains now running every 7.5 min between Amara and Herrera.
