Night Metro Works to Affect Athens Line 3 Services

Athens Metro Line 3 services will change on Sunday nights as rail replacement works begin, with early station closures and replacement buses in operation.

Starting Sunday, 19 July, and continuing every week, Athens Metro Line 3 will undergo rail replacement works on the section between Evangelismos and Katehaki stations, with temporary night-time service adjustments in place.

According to operator Statheres Synkoinonies (STASY), the stations Evangelismos, Megaro Moussikis, Ambelokipi, Panormou and Katehaki will close at 9:40 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, around two and a half hours earlier than the normal end of service.

During the works, Line 3 trains will operate in two separate sections: Dimotiko Theatro–Syntagma and Ethniki Amyna–D. Plakentias–Airport.

The final trains before the early station closures will depart from key stations as follows:
• Dimotiko Theatro to D. Plakentias: 9:05 p.m.
• Syntagma to D. Plakentias: 9:30 p.m.

• Katehaki to D. Plakentias: 9:39 p.m.

In the opposite direction, the last train from D. Plakentias to Dimotiko Theatro will depart at 9:30 p.m., while the final services from intermediate stations will run between 9:38 p.m. and 9:47 p.m.

Airport services will also be modified. The last trains will leave Syntagma for the Airport at 9:30 p.m., Dimotiko Theatro for the Airport at 9:05 p.m., and the Airport for Dimotiko Theatro at 9:10 p.m. After 9:40 p.m., airport-bound trains will depart from Ethniki Amyna, while airport arrivals will terminate there.
