Mar del Plata (officially named "Estación Ferroautomotora Eva Perón")[2][3] is a railway and bus terminus in the homonymous city of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Opened in 2009 as a bus terminus only, the railway tracks from the old "Norte" station (distant a few meters from there) were extended to connect both terminals in 2011 by architect Claudio Luis Lucarelli, adding new platforms to receive trains from Buenos Aires.

[1][4] Station facilities include 42 bus garages, 5 railway platforms, 50 shops, 3 restaurants, 51 ticket offices, parking lots and accessible toilets.

[6] On 26 September 1886, the first train arrived to the Mar del Plata railway station, built and operated by British-owned BA Great Southern.

[7] By 1910 Mar del Plata remained as the main beach city of Argentina, receiving a huge number of tourists during the summer.

Due to the intense traffic of passengers, the railway station exceeded its capacity and the Municipality demanded the company to increase the facilities.

[11] In 2014, CNR CKD8 trains manufactured by Chinese company CSR were acquired by the National Government to run luxury services to Mar del Plata.
