A man who fell onto the track of the Kifissia-Piraeus electric railway (ISAP) on Saturday night was rescued by firefighters.

The incident occurred at Omonia station in central Athens soon after midnight on Saturday. It was not clear what caused the man to end up on the tracks.

Twelve firefighters arrived at the scene and it took them around 1.5 hours to lift the man to safety.

Workers on the Kifissia-Piraeus electric railway (ISAP) and the Athens metro will hold a work stoppage Thursday from 9 p.m. until the end of services.

Workers are striking in solidarity with staff at the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) who are objecting to government plans to privatize the company.

The work stoppages at Line 1 of the Athens Metro scheduled for Tuesday evening and for Friday afternoon have been suspended. Therefore all services on the Piraeus-Kifissia electrical railway line (ISAP) will run as normal this week.

Services on the Athens-Piraeus urban electric railway (ISAP) will be disrupted on Tuesday and Friday when employees are planning work stoppages to protest transfers and streamlining at the organization.

Specifically, there will be no services after 9 p.m. on Tuesday nor on Friday between noon and 3 p.m.

The long intervals between metro and electric railway trains in Athens appears to be irking public transport staff as well as visitors to the Greek capital.

Since the beginning of July, the frequency of trains, as well as trams and buses, has been reduced due to the implementation of the summer timetable.
Schedules will return to normal at the beginning of September.

Buses and trolley buses will offer reduced services on Monday August 14, similar to those normally provided on Saturdays, ahead of the August 15 national holiday, the Athens Urban Transport Organization (OASA) announced on Saturday.

The urban electric railway (ISAP), Athens metro and the tram will also be running less frequent services.
