Angeies railway station

Angeies railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αγγειών, also Αγγείες or Αγγείαι) is a railway station situated near the village of Makryrrachi in Phthiotis, Greece. The station was opened on 8 March 1904.. It was served by intercity trains between Athens and Thessaloniki.^[3] In 2010 work started on a new station adjacent to the existing Angeies station on the new Athens–Thessaloniki high-speed line, with longer platforms and subway access for passengers. In June 2018, the old station, which included the original station buildings, closed when the new station came online; however, the older station is still intact and can be seen from platform 1. The station is served by trains between Athens, Kalampaka and Thessaloniki

In August 2025, the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport confirmed the creation of a new body, Greek Railways (Greek: Σιδηρόδρομοι Ελλάδος, romanized: Ellinikí Sidiródromi Monoprósopi)^[4] to assume responsibility for rail infrastructure, planning, modernisation projects, and rolling stock across Greece. Previously, these functions were divided among several state-owned entities: OSE, which managed infrastructure; ERGOSÉ, responsible for modernisation projects; and GAIAOSÉ, which owned stations, buildings, and rolling stock. OSE had overseen both infrastructure and operations until its vertical separation in 2005.^[5] Rail safety has been identified as a key priority.^[6] The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the Tempi accident of February 2023, in which 43 people died after a head-on collision.^[7]
