Santander railway station, also known as Santander ADIF to distinguish it from the Santander Feve station (note both are currently owned by Adif) is the main railway station of the Spanish city of Santander, Cantabria. It opened in 1858 and served over 3 million passengers in 2018. The station is actually a complex of two stations, one serving Iberian-gauge railways, and another adjacent serving metre-gauge services to Bilbao-Abando and Oviedo.
Alvia services use the MadridâÂÂLeón high-speed rail line as far as Palencia, and switches to the conventional rail network to serve Santander, and one Media Distancia service operates on the classic line between Santander and Valladolid-Campo Grande. The metre-gauge services from Santander link it to Oviedo and Bilbao. The Transcantábrico tourist train also stops here. The first CercanÃÂas Santander commuter rail lines also begin at the station, with the other two beginning at the other one
