The Acharnes Railway Center (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικό Κέντρο Αχαρνών) or SKA is a two-level railway station in the north of the Athens Metropolitan Area in the municipality of Acharnes, where some important railway lines converge. It is a busy passenger interchange station, opened in April 2011.[2]
The lines that converge in the junction are:
- The main Piraeus–Platy railway line from Piraeus and Athens Central (Larissa station) to Oinoi and Thessaloniki.
- The Athens Airport–Kiato railway line connecting Athens International Airport and East Attica with the Athens Metropolitan Area, Corinth and Kiato.
As of 2013[update] the station is served by one train per hour between the Airport and Kiato, three trains per hour between the Airport and Ano Liosia,[3] and one train per hour between Piraeus and Chalcis.[4]
After completion of the new high-speed Corinth-Kiato-Patras line, it will also be possible to run direct services between northern Greece and Peloponese, at least down to Patras.
