Oviedo-Jovellanos Station


The station of Oviedo-Jovellanos was built by FEVE in 1989 after the closure of the old Basque Station, at that time the head of existing services between Oviedo and Collanzo, Oviedo and Soto de Luiña, and Oviedo and Ferrol. < / p>

The station denoted provisionality, manifested in the fact that it only had one works booth as a dependency of the station manager and the box office. The station consisted of two platforms and five lanes (three of them of parking and two of them of step). Track 1 was dedicated to the Oviedo-Soto de Luiña services (later to San Esteban de Pravia) and the Oviedo-Ferrol regional services; lane 2 was used for Oviedo-Collanzo services mainly and sometimes for services Oviedo-Ferrol or Oviedo-Navia; lane 3 was only used by the services to Collanzo if lane 2 was busy.

Finally, the station was closed in 1999 as part of the Green Belt project that sought to free urban land by concentrating all rail services at the Estación del Norte in Oviedo.

Likewise, from this station started the connection branch between the old Basque-Asturian Railway and the Economic Railways of Asturias, both absorbed by FEVE.
