Ano Liosia (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Άνω Λιοσίων, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Áno Liosíon) is a train station in Ano Liosia, a western suburb of Athens, Greece. It is located in the median strip of the Attiki Odos motorway, and has a single island platform. The station is the western terminus of Line 4 of Proastiakos Athens to and from Athens Airport. It is also served by Line 2 between Piraeus and Kiato, and Line 5 between Aigio and central Athens/Athens Airport.^[3] it sits a 700 meaters from Zefyri, or a 2 min train ride.

History

It opened on 18 July 2006.^[4] In 2008, all Proastiakos services were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE. In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.^[5] Timetables were cutback and routes closed, as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. 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. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.^[7]
