Four stations on Athens Metro Line 2 will close at 9:40 p.m. starting tonight, Sunday, Nov. 15, as rail replacement work continues on the network’s red line. The early closures will affect Anthoupoli, Peristeri, Agios Antonios and Sepolia stations from Nov. 15 to 19 and again from Nov. 22 to 26, with services ending approximately two and a half hours earlier than usual.

During the closures, Line 2 trains will operate only between Attiki and Elliniko, according to metro operator STASY.

The work is part of a wider rail replacement project that has already been completed on Line 3 and along the Sepolia to Dafni section of Line 2. Crews will now carry out overnight work between Anthoupoli and Sepolia.

Replacement Bus Service Between Omonia and Anthoupoli

Athens public transport authority OASA will introduce a temporary bus route, X26, to serve passengers affected by the closures. The circular service will operate between Omonia and Anthoupoli from 9:40 p.m. until the end of regular metro operating hours on the affected dates. The bus will stop at Omonia, Metaxourgeio, Kadmou, Agios Antonios, Dimarcheio and Anthoupoli, then follow the same route back to Omonia.

The X26 replacement service will depart from a temporary stop at Omonia, between 3is Septemvriou and Agiou Konstantinou streets. At Metaxourgeio, the outbound service will stop at Karaiskaki Square, while returning buses will stop on Achilleos Street. Additional stops will be located on Lenorman Avenue (Kadmou), Ethnarchou Makariou Street (Agios Antonios), Panagi Tsaldari Avenue (Dimarcheio) and Anapafseos Street (Anthoupoli). The bus will not stop at Sepolia, Attiki or Larissa Station.

STASY acknowledged that the closures would cause disruption but said they were necessary to complete the rail replacement work, which is intended to improve daily metro services.
