Marousi (Greek: Μαρούσι), also known as Maroussi,[2] is an Athens Metro station in Marousi, a northern suburb in Athens.

Quick Facts General information, Location ...

The station is managed by STASY, and was rebuilt with step-free access as part of the renovation of Line 1 in 2004.[1]

History

The Marousi metro station is on the site of a former Lavrion Square–Strofyli railway station called Amarousion, which was open from 4 February 1885[which calendar?] to 8 August 1938.

The current metro station on an elevated viaduct was built by the Hellenic Electric Railways, and opened on 1 September 1957: in 2004, the Athens–Piraeus Electric Railways renovated the station with a new roof and step-free access.[1]

Proposals

Since the late 1990s, Elliniko Metro and the Greek government have proposed that Marousi would serve a second metro line. The first proposal consisted of a branch of Line 3 from Panormou, which would be partially elevated after Filothei.[3] In December 2005, Elliniko Metro revised the proposal to a U-shaped Line 4 from this station to Alsos Veikou via Kaisariani, because they believed that the branch would have limited the capacity of Line 3.[4][5]
