[3] Until 2019 it was also served by suburban Euskotren Trena trains coming from Durango, Bermeo and San Sebastián.

In 2012, a new access was opened from Telleria street, including an elevator for people with restricted mobility.

After the opening of line 3 of the metro, operated by Euskotren, the trains coming from all destinations except Bermeo were rerouted through the new underground route that connects directly with Zazpikaleak/Casco Viejo station in central Bilbao, bypassing Bolueta and Atxuri stations completely.

[5] The Basque Government and the administrator of the rail network, Euskal Trenbide Sarea (ETS), announced in 2003 their intention of transforming the rail corridor between Bilbao-Atxuri, Bolueta and Etxebarri into a tramway line, thus continuing the existing Bilbao tramway service which at the time had its terminus at Bilbao-Atxuri, however the project wasn't carried out.

[citation needed] In 2017, after the opening of line 3, the plan was brought back by the administration and some studies were conducted[6] In November, 2018, it was announced by the Basque Government that the works to transform the lower level of Bolueta station into a tram stop while maintaining the connection with Metro Bilbao would start in 2019.
