I was quite engaged with this as they’ve decided to redevelop the Bidebieta-Basauri railway station and that means filling in the underpass. There is something oddly compelling about railway infrastructure mid-transformation, especially when it involves a part of a station being quietly erased from public life.
It feels rather strange looking at this, knowing that just a few weeks ago passengers were able to use this underpass to cross over to the other side of the railway station. I liked that there was a sign saying that the underpass was closed, just in case anyone tried to crawl in through that hole at the top.
I understand that the railway station is being upgraded with new passenger buildings and platforms being constructed, as the existing underpass kept flooding. Underpasses always have a slightly gloomy feel to them at the best of times, and a frequently flooded one is unlikely to have been the highlight of anyone’s commute.
