A fire near the railway line in Aspropyrgos has suspended suburban rail traffic and disrupted services across parts of the Athens network. Hellenic Train said, citing infrastructure manager OSE, that rail traffic between Ano Liosia and Aspropyrgos stopped at 3:05 p.m. Power was also cut on the Ano Liosia to Loutroupyrgos section.

The disruption left two trains stationary at stations. Train 1319, traveling from Kiato to Piraeus, remained at Nea Peramos with 180 passengers. Train 1318, running from Piraeus to Kiato, was held at Ano Liosia with 250 passengers.

Hellenic Train dispatched buses to transport passengers and cover sections of the route that could not operate by rail. The fire also caused delays and timetable changes, with buses replacing trains on some sections.

The company said it remained in continuous coordination with the infrastructure manager and relevant authorities as efforts continued to restore rail traffic as soon as possible.
