Commuters in Thessaloniki, Greece, faced a chaotic morning as a technical fault disrupted metro service during peak hours. The incident caused significant delays and forced passengers to transfer at University station, resulting in crowded platforms.
The metro’s managing company reported that between Analipsi and University stations, trains were operating only via Track 2, while the rest of the line continued to function normally. Passengers were advised to change trains at University station to continue their journeys.
Other stations affected included Fleming and Analipsi, where service interruptions led to further congestion. Social media reports described commuters packed like “sardines” as they attempted to navigate the temporary disruption.
Authorities have not provided a timeline for resolving the issue, but officials urged passengers to plan extra travel time and remain patient as repairs are carried out.
