		If the Spanish station of Irun, located at the exit of the bridge over the Bidassoa that forms the border, could be expanded without too many problems, the enlargement of that of Hendaye, wedged between the city and Chingudy bay, required extensive work which is described below.
		At this time, because the RENFE raised its overhead line voltage from 1,5 to 3,0 kV, the catenary over the broad-gauge tracks beside platforms 101, 002 and tracks 128 - 140 of the freight yard in Hendaye was fed at 3 kV, which required the creation of a short switchable zone controlled by Poste 4.
		Of course, to fulfil such optimistic forecasts of an exponential development of the traffic benefiting rail, to the detriment of road transport, as the European Union wishes, it would be necessary to think of complementary installations, in particular the provision of an extra track on the bridge over the Bidassoa.
