Athens suburban rail: partial cancellations after the Attiki Odos accident

Hellenic Train recorded changes to three services. ERT reports that the Metamorfosi–SKA line reopened at 13:35, not that every departure immediately returned to normal.

Hellenic Train recorded partial service cancellations on 18 October 2026. ERTnews links them to the Attiki Odos road accident near Leoforos Dimokratias and the railway tracks.

Sections affected

  • 4215, Airport–Ano Liosia: Metamorfosi–Ano Liosia cancelled.
  • 4216, Ano Liosia–Airport: Ano Liosia–Neratziotissa cancelled.
  • 1217, Airport–Piraeus: Neratziotissa–Piraeus cancelled.

The corresponding company notices are timestamped 13:35, 13:09 and 13:06. They concern individual services, not a network-wide suspension.

The latest picture

ERT, citing infrastructure manager OSE, reports that traffic and power supply on the Metamorfosi–SKA section were restored at 13:35. Reopening the infrastructure does not undo cancellations already announced or confirm that all delays ended immediately.

Before travelling, passengers should check their specific departure in the operator’s current updates. This report does not confirm that the Attiki Odos carriageway remains closed.
