2007: The Inauguration of a Railway Station in Greece

February 21, 2007

In central Greece’s administrative region of Attica (an area that includes the capital city of Athens), a railway station in the town and municipality of Vrilissia was opened to the public. This station is located on Vrilissia’s main thoroughfare of Pentelis Avenue. Pentelis railway station was officially inaugurated by Michalis Liapis, who served as Greece’s minister for transport and communications from March 2004 to September 2007.

Pentelis railway station is part of both Lines A1 and A2 of the Athens Suburban Railway. This commuter rail service — covering at total of 185.3 miles (298.2 kilometers) — connects Athens with sections elsewhere in Attica and also in some of Greece’s other administrative regions.
