The Euskotren 950 series is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Euskotren in the Basque Country, Spain.
In June 2014, Euskotren awarded CAF the construction of 28 3-car EMUs for 150 million euros.[7] They are similar to the earlier 900 series, but feature improved accessibility.[8]
The first trainset was delivered in November 2015.[9] The series entered service on the Txorierri line on July 2, 2016.[2] The series gradually replaced the older 200 and 300 series trains, with the last unit being delivered in 2018.[7] Now, they also run local services between Eibar and Ermua, on the Urdaibai line, and on Bilbao Metro Line 3.[citation needed]
Interior
Each train has 94 seats, with additional space for 202 standing passengers.[2] Internally, the three cars are connected with open gangways. Wheelchair space is provided at one end of the intermediate car,[10] the doors near it are equipped with ramps.[3] All trains have dedicated spaces for passengers carrying bicycles.[8]
Dedicated space for bicycles.
Naming
Each unit is named after a mountain of the Basque Country. The first 17 EMUs have the same names as the electric locomotives operated by Ferrocarriles Vascongados (a historical company that preceded Euskotren).[11]
