Public transport employees in Athens will hold work stoppages and strikes on Thursday, October 3, continuing industrial action that launched on Wednesday.

Employees of the Athens metro, electric railway (ISAP) and the tram have announced a work stoppage from 12 noon to 3 pm.

Trains of the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) will not be running for 24 hours so there will be no services on the suburban railway (Proastiakos). As a result, metro line 3 (blue line) will operate only until Doukisis Plakendias station and there will be no metro service to Athens International Airport.

Buses and trolleys are expected to operate normally.
