The Cercanías Bilbao commuter railway network (operated by Renfe) also has a Basauri station on its C3 line, but they are not at the same location – there is a distance of about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) between them, with the Cercanías station serving the industrial area to the south of the town, including the large Sidenor steel facility.
