Gare d'Hendaye

Hendaye is a railway station in Hendaye, Aquitaine, France. The station is located on the Bordeaux - Irun and Bilbao - Hendaye railway lines. The station is served by TGV (high speed trains), Lunéa (night trains), Intercités (long distance) and TER (local) services operated by the SNCF and Alvia (High Speed Trains), Talgo, Arco, Estrella and EuskoTren services operated by RENFE.

The Euskotren narrow gauge services operate from a station on the forecourt of the SNCF station, for which separate ticketing is required.

The station is a border railway station where all trains have to stop, as those coming from/going into Spain have to change gauge from Standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) to Iberian gauge 1668 mm (5 ft 5 2⁄3 in). The electric pickup supply also changes here from 1500v DC (overhead France) to 3000v DC (overhead Spain). Between the stations of Hendaye and Irun, both track gauges run together.
