Perissos metro station

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.

Athens will enforce traffic measures for Wednesday's UEFA Europa Conference League final between Olympiakos and Italy's Fiorentina at the AEK Arena in Nea Filadelfia, western Athens.

Line 1 of the Athens metro (also known as the ISAP electrical railway) will serve the public until 5 p.m., then transport fans exclusively.

A man died on Friday morning after falling on the tracks at ISAP electric railway's Nea Ionia station in northern Athens, authorities said.

It was not clear why the man fell and an investigation is under way. No details about his identity have been released.

The incident temporarily disrupted service on the train.
