The Athens-Piraeus Electric Railway (ISAP) station in the southern Kallithea district was temporarily closed on Thursday due to a bomb threat. The station has resumed operations. 

A bomb disposal unit has rushed to the scene.
 
 
 

A fire erupted on the escalators of the pedestrian walkway located outside the terminal station of the ISAP electric railway and metro in Piraeus in the early hours of Wednesday.

As reported by state broadcaster ERT, firefighting teams promptly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire, with no injuries reported.

Police in Athens are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman who fell onto the tracks at Victoria station on the capital's ISAP electric railway line on Monday morning.

ISAP, also known as Line 1 of the Athens metro, is currently out of service between Omonia and Attiki stations.

No other details are available at this stage. 

Τhe frequency of Athens' trains will slow down for the summer holiday season starting July 10, according to Metro operator STASY.

As unions across the Greek public sector plan nationwide strikes and rallies on Wednesday in reaction to last week's fatal train collision in the Vale of Tempe, workers on the capital's metro, electric railway (ISAP) and tram are also planning to walk off the job to join the action.

The Athens Urban Rail Transport Company (STASY) has launched a pilot project to cover the stations and tunnels of the metro lines with up to 5G mobile signals.

The first phase of the project is set to last until March of this year and aims to find the best technical solution, which will then be applied to the entire network.

Many Athenians woke up to a blanket of snow on Monday morning, as the cold front "Medea" that swept into Greece on Saturday affected most parts of the country and particularly higher altitudes.

In the capital, snowfall came early in the morning and blanketed northern suburbs like Kifissia, Ekali and Melissia, while also giving a dusting to the downtown area.

It is a "matter of time" to identify and arrest the two passengers who viciously attacked a metro station manager on Wednesday after he asked them to put on their mask, police sources said on Thursday.

According to the sources, their faces have been recorded clearly in the metro's CCTV cameras and officers are now focusing their investigation in the area of West Attica.

A station manager of the Athens metro was beaten up by two men who refused to wear their mask on the train, the public company responsible for managing the metro, tram and electric railway, Urban Rail Transport (STASY), said on Wednesday.

Five metro and ISAP electric railway stations in central Athens have been ordered to close from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday in a bid to stem public movement and avert crowds from gathering at public squares in the downtown area for Christmas, amid fears of a spike in coronavirus transmission.
