Tavros metro station (Greek: Σταθμός Ταύρου-Ελευθερίου Βενιζέλου Stathmos Tavrou-Eleftheriou Venizelou) is on Line 1 of the Athens Metro, 6.171 km from the line's southern terminus at Piraeus.[1] It is located in the municipality of Tavros, near the boundary with Kallithea. The station is also known as Tavros-Eleftherios Venizelou, after the former Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos.
History
The first proposals for a station were made in 1925, when engineer Alexander Verdelis demarcated the Harokopou station at almost the same location as part of his proposal to build a wider subway network for the capital.[2] Construction of the plant began in 1988, and opened on 6 February 1989[3] at a cost of 200 million drachmas. The station was renovated in 2004 in the run-up to the Summer Olympics that year.
Facilities
It has a central island platform serving two tracks and a reversing siding towards Kallithea station.
Services
In the past the station was the southern terminus of a peak hour train service "Tavros-Ano Patissia",[4] later extended as "Tavros-Irini".
