Piraeus station Location within Piraeus |
Piraeus station refers to two railway termini in Piraeus, Greece, approximately 9 km south-west of the centre of Athens. The southern building is the present terminus of Athens Metro Line 1, formerly the Athens-Piraeus Railways Co that opened in 1869.[1] The northern building is the railway terminus for standard gauge railway services on the main axis to Thessaloniki via Larissa and for the Proastiakos to Acharnes Junction and Chalcis.[2]
Both buildings are located next to the seaport.
The Electric Railways Museum of Piraeus is located in the station, in the space of the former Post Office.
Histroy[]
In 2001 the infrastructure element of OSE was created, known as GAIAOSE, it would henceforth be responsible for the maintenance, of stations, bridges and other elements of the network, as well as the leasing and the sale of railway assists.[3] In 2003, OSE launched "Proastiakos SA", as a subsidiary to serve the operation of the suburban network in the urban complex of Athens during the 2004 Olympic Games. In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2008, all Proastiakos were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE.
