ISAP trains evacuated after fire

Two Athens metro trains were evacuated after a fire broke out near Neratziotissa station in northern Attica on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire brigade was alerted at around 5 p.m. due to heavy smoke from the fire. The two trains on Line 1 (ISAP), heading toward the northern suburb of Kifissia, were stopped and evacuated, with passengers walking along the tracks to Irini station.

“Train services on Line 1 have been temporarily restricted to the Nea Ionia-Piraeus section due to a fire on the tracks. Two trains were immobilized and evacuated after the power supply to the line was cut,” the urban railway company STASY announced.
