TLDR

  • Traffic adjustments will be in place on the Athens tram network starting Saturday, April 25th, due to technical work and events.
  • Line 7 will have its terminus at 'Agios Alexandros' on Saturday, April 25th, between 07:00 and 12:00 for technical work in Glyfada.
  • On Sunday, April 26th, the 17th Poseidonia Half Marathon will affect Line 6 and Line 7 routes between 08:00 and 13:30, with the 'Trokantero' stop not being served.

Athens commuters should be aware of significant disruptions to the tram service this weekend as STASY implements necessary traffic adjustments. These changes, affecting multiple lines and various sections of the network, are scheduled from Saturday, April 25th, through Thursday, April 30th.

On Saturday, Line 7's operations will be confined to the segment between 'Agios Alexandros' and 'Akti Poseidonos' due to ongoing technical work in the Glyfada area. This will limit travel options for residents and visitors in that part of the coastal route.

Sunday brings further complications with the 17th Poseidonia Half Marathon impacting both Line 6 and Line 7. Between 08:00 and 13:30, services will operate on reduced segments, and the 'Trokantero' stop will be completely inaccessible. Passengers on Line 6 using the 'Pikrodaphni' and 'Edem' stops will also face limitations.

Additionally, from Sunday evening through Thursday, April 30th, Line 7 will again see its terminus shifted to 'SEF' due to EYDAP works at 'Plateia Deligianni' in Piraeus. These cumulative disruptions highlight the challenges of maintaining and upgrading public transport infrastructure while ensuring continuous service for the city's residents.
