Future stations

[edit]

The immediate expansion plans call for an extension of Line 1 from the New Railway Station towards Thessaloniki's western suburbs:[1]

A secondary expansion is planned towards the airport and the new Thessaloniki Innovation and Technology Centre (ThessINTEC). This line is to be in a tunnel for a short distance, then at-grade, and then elevated (grade-separated):[1]

A future branching of the airport extension towards Thermi is also accounted for.[1]

A Line 3 is being considered, to run from Toumba towards the western sububrbs, intersecting with lines 1 and 2 at Panepistimio and the New Railway Station, and possibly also at Dimokratias:[1]

The name was changed because it is not of Greek origin.[3]
