Piraeus becomes the new terminal of all Suburban Railway routes in Attica

Piraeus becomes the new starting point of all Athens Suburban Railway services. As the Minister of Infrastructure, Mr. Christos Spirtzis, said yesterday during an interviewi: ” As of February, all itineraries towards the Airport and Kiato will be starting from the biggest port of the country, offering direct access to coastal routes to the islands and vice versa. This also means that passengers will be able to go from the Port go to the Airport without the need to change between other means of transport.

This, of course, will bring an even bigger upgrade to the Suburban Railway Station of Piraeus, which has been operating for 10.5 years with a completely secondary role in the network. Desiro electric trains will be used on 2 lines, while on the line to Chalkida, there will be a minor differentiation, with the use of Rail Bus trains from Piraeus, changing to electric trains from Athens Central.

According to secure information provided at Ypodomes.co, itineraries will also become more frequent during peak hours, increasing the ability to serve passengers on city-wide destinations. What remains to be sorted is a problem in SKA- Ano Liosia section, which will probably be solved in the next few weeks.
