Ano Patissia station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ano Patissia station (Greek: Σταθμός Άνω Πατησίων Stathmos Ano Patission) is an ISAP train station in Ano Patissia, Athens, Greece. It is marked at the 15.269 km from the starting point in Piraeus. It is build on a viaduct at the location of a train station on the former Lavriou Square-Strofyli railway line. The old station was opened on February 4, 1885 and shut down on August 8, 1938, pending electrification. The railway level crossing, which was replaced with a viaduct when the line was electrified, gave the location its old name Alyssida. The station has two platforms and a siding which can connect to either track, so it can be used as a terminal station if needed. After recent renovation for the 2004 Olympic Games, the station features escalators and lifts for the disabled.

The station is located next to the Orthodox Christian church of Saint Barbara and near the shopping area of Ano Patissia and there are many businesses nearby, including a large Internet cafe and billiard centre, many banks and other companies.
