Metamorfosi railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Μεταμόρφωσης, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Metamórfosis) is a station on the Piraeus–Platy railway line, located on Kifisias Avenue in Marousi, a municipality in the regional unit of North Athens, Attica, Greece, located in the median strip of the Attiki Odos motorway. The station opened on 8 August 2010. The station consists of an island platform and a train storage line.
History
The station opened on 8 August 2010, during the Greek debt crisis. With the crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cutback, and routes closed as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. Services from Athens Airport & Athens were cut back, with some ticket offices closing, reducing the reliability of services and passenger numbers. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[6] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.
The station is owned by GAIAOSE, which since 3 October 2001 owns most railway stations in Greece: the company was also in charge of rolling stock from December 2014 until October 2025, when Greek Railways (the owner of the Airport–Patras railway) took over that responsibility.[1][7]
Facilities
The station has a ticket office and cafe 'Out of the Box coffee shop'. At platform level, the station is equipped with Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens on the platforms for passenger information, seating, and information boards, with access to the platforms via life or escalator. Outside the station is a bus stop where the local 604, 724 & B9 call. There is no onsite Parking available at the station.
