İmaginas, I have another question. Signomi I ask so much, I know ; What is the last situation of new construction of Athens Larisa station? There was a construction before, but when I saw next time, there was minimum progress. I mean construction was going on very slow. Is there any change? does the station start to be shaped?

Desiro used in Line Neratziotisa-Athens Airport and Thesaloniki-Larisa

Ose had problems with the law about the constructions.Some people want the lines underground becouse say have noise and are dangerous for accidents.Now the constructions are in progress.
I hope to ask in your questions!

I am quite sure desiros were bought, otherwise why the hell were they stood in Thessaloniki for so many years...and now also serve Thessaloniki-Larisa suburban line,probably the diesel ones were loaned til the electrification is done, but certainly ose did bought the regular desiros

Here is a picture of a desiro in Larisa city station:

Wikipedia says that train service from Athens to airport has been suspended because of some works on the track. Have those works finished and the train service started?

[imaginas]

If you want go to airport from athens now,you take the train with destination kiaton (peloponisos) and at first station you change train with destination neratziotisa,and after you take the electric train with destination airport!!!You need about 30minutes for this route.

The electrification is working from Thessaloniki to Larisa, not any further yet.

without this bridge it is impossible to pass to Peleponisos Station (also OSE's international Bus lines-International Buses are not from KTEL and OSE is a railway company wich also operates buses).

Is Greece planning to dobule track and electrify the line that goes to Turkey?

[Kuvvaci]

Trains between Salonica and Istanbul are eletric trains and they are cool. TCDD and OSE operate together (when one is coming, other is going)
