Location

Agioi Anargyroi railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Αγίων Αναργύρων, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Agíon Anargýron) is a station on the Piraeus–Platy railway line in Agioi Anargyroi, a suburb in the municipality of Agioi Anargyroi-Kamatero, in the regional unit of West Athens, Attica, Greece. It is located at the junction of Dimokratias and Psaron streets, opposite Kokkinopoulou Square, and has two island platforms. It was opened on 8 August 2010,[3] replacing an older station of the same name. It is located close to the Hellenic Army's Agioi Anargyroi military base.

History

The new station should not be confused with the old station of the former Piraeus–Patras railway, located north of the current station on Iroon Polytechniou street between Aretis and Distomou streets, which closed in July 2007. Maintenance works were carried out in 2019, in part to repair water damage from winter flooding the previous year.[4]

Facilities

The station building is above the platforms, with access to the platform level via stairs or lifts. The station buildings are also equipped with toilets and a staffed ticket office. At platform level, there are sheltered seating and Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens or timetable poster boards on both platforms on all four platforms. Access to platforms 1-4 is via the main concourse. Platforms 3 & 4 are much longer than Platforms 1 & 2. To the left of the station buildings, there is a passenger car park, with free parking. Outside the station, there is a bus stop where the local 420, 711, 719, 735, A10, A11, B10, B11, B12 & Γ12 call. Road access to the station is provided by a small square that opens out onto Leof. Dimokratias.
