The Hellenic Train has announced significant adjustments to its Athens Suburban Railway services, effective from Monday, July 14th, and continuing until further notice. This development comes following an order from the Infrastructure Manager, O.S.E.

Specifically, the local train routes running between the stations of Ano Liosia and Kantza have been suspended. The affected train numbers for the routes departing from Ano Liosia to Kantza are 4200, 4204, 4208, 4212, 4232, 4236, 4240, and 4244. In the opposite direction, from Kantza to Ano Liosia, the trains numbered 4205, 4209, 4213, 4217, 4237, 4241, 4245, and 4249 will not operate during this period.

To ensure continued passenger service, Hellenic Train has arranged replacement bus services that will cover the same routes as the suspended trains. This initiative is aimed at minimising inconvenience to commuters while the train routes are temporarily unavailable.

The company has expressed its appreciation to passengers for their understanding and assures them that all possible measures are being taken to reduce disruption. Efforts are being made by Hellenic Train staff to ensure a smooth transition during this period of change.
