Legend

The Leianokladi to Stylida railway or Proastiakos Lamia (Lamia Suburban Railway) is an unelectrificated standard gauge single-track railway regional railway line that connects Leianokladi in Central Greece, with Lamia and Stylida. The route is covered in 33 minutes.

History[]

The line opened 1905.[2] In 1920 the line became part of the Hellenic State Railways. In 1971, the Hellenic State Railways was reorganised into the OSE[3] taking over responsibilities for most for Greece's rail infrastructure. However, by 1970 the regular passenger itineraries from Piraeus and Athens to Lamia and Stylida were suspended and only the periodic summer excursion itineraries for the transport of bathers to the beach of Agia Marina and the commercial itineraries remained.[4] In 1991 the line Athens Leianokladi-Lamia-Stylida is reopened with passenger trains and freight services, and in 2011 the passenger operation of the line is transformed into a suburban line with 12 pairs of routes, 7 between Leianokladi-Lamia-Stylida and the remaining 5 between Leianokladi-Lamia the connecting bus that connected the OSE agency in Lamia with the Leianokladi station.[5]

On 16 March 2020, in the midst of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, it was decided to temporarily suspend services (trains and bus lines).[6] On 1 July 2020, the railway line reopened with the measures envisaged for the coronavirus.
