Athens have two railway stations. The older and more beautiful station is the Peloponnes station, where the meter-gauge trains to the Peloponnes arrives. Athen hat zwei Bahnhöfe, der ältere und wohl schönere von beiden ist der sogenannte "Stathmos (=Bahnhof) Peloponnisos", weil hier die Züge zur Peloponnes abfahren. Mit dem baldigen Ende der Meterspur in Athen wird dieser Bahnhof leider seine Funktion verlieren. Was aus ihm wird, ist noch offen. Athens - 27.Oktober 2003 Photo: Dimitrios Koffas (trena@gmx.de)

The second station in Athens have the name "Larissis Station", it's the train station for the standard gauge trains. When the station was built, the railway line end in Larissa. Therefore this is the name of the station. Der zweite Bahnhof von Athen wird "Stathmos (=Bahnhof) Larissis" genannt. Er ist der Bahnhof für die Normalspur und als er errichtet wurde, endete diese noch in Larissa. Also fuhren hier die Züge nach Larissa ab, daher der Name. Photo: Dimitrios Koffas (trena@gmx.de)
