Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 20, 2024, public transport will be significantly impacted as GSEE and ADEDY unions have called for a work stoppage

Starting this Friday, Athens Metro Lines 2 and 3 will operate until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.

According to an announcement from STASY, the organization that manages the capital's metro system, the last trains will depart from the central Syntagma station at 2 a.m., providing service in all directions.

A recent railway incident in Athens has raised fresh concerns about the country's train system, just 20 months after the tragic Tempe crash in central Greece.

Yet another safety breach on Greece's railway has prompted an urgent judicial investigation, with Athens' chief prosecutor, Apostolos Andreou, on Thursday seeking answers as to why a Suburban Railway (Proastiakos) train was routed onto a metro track.

Two Athens metro trains were evacuated after a fire broke out near Neratziotissa station in northern Attica on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire brigade was alerted at around 5 p.m. due to heavy smoke from the fire. The two trains on Line 1 (ISAP), heading toward the northern suburb of Kifissia, were stopped and evacuated, with passengers walking along the tracks to Irini station.

A criminal investigation has been ordered following a near collision between two commuter trains between Athens and Agioi Anargyroi stations on Friday morning. 

The Acharnes station manager mistakenly ordered train 1307 to take a single track already occupied by train 1210, risking a head-on collision. 

Metro rail services to and from Athens International Airport have been restored, according to an announcement from the Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY).

The Piraeus Line 3 metro station (blue line) will be closed on Saturday and Sunday (April 6-7) to allow for the installation of new e-ticket equipment.

The station will reopen Monday.

The closure will not affect the operation of the Piraeus Line 1 metro station (green line).
