Kathimerini reports on temporary traffic adjustments affecting the Athens Tram, a crucial public transportation system for the Greek capital. These changes, implemented by STASY (the Hellenic Railway Transport Company), are necessary due to scheduled technical maintenance and the upcoming 17th Poseidonia Half Marathon.

The article details the specific disruptions for Saturday, April 25th, and Sunday, April 26th. On Saturday, Line 7 will operate with a modified route due to technical work in Glyfada. Sunday will see further alterations for both Line 6 and Line 7 to accommodate the half marathon, impacting several stations, including Trocadero, Pikrodaphni, and Edem. These adjustments, while inconvenient, are presented as essential for ensuring the smooth operation and safety of the tram network and public events.

Additionally, from Sunday, April 26th, to Thursday, April 30th, Line 7 will again face modifications, this time due to EYDAP (Hellenic Water Supply and Sewerage Company) works in Piraeus. The article concludes by noting the cancellation of planned weekend adjustments on Line 7 for early May, related to demolition work on Omiridou Skylitsi street. Kathimerini's coverage provides essential information for tram users, highlighting the city's ongoing efforts to manage infrastructure and public events effectively.
