Line A3 is an Athens Suburban Railway (Proastiakos) line in Athens, Greece, managed by Hellenic Train. The service connects Athens with Chalcis. The line shares a part of its course with lines A1 and A4 out of Athens railway station, as well as Metro Line 3, but also with line Line A2 at Acharnes Railway Center. The line was inaugurated on 30 July 2017, using 17 OSE Class 560 DMUs, however the line now exclusively uses OSE class 460 EMUs rolling stock.
History
Line A3 was put into operation on 30 July 2017, connecting Athens with Chalcis, following the restructuring of the Suburban Railway network routes following the completion of the electrification installation on the section of the line up to Athens. Line A2 , which operated between Piraeus, Athens and Chalkida stations, underwent a change of route and returned to its previous route between Athens and Kiato. Therefore, the new line took over the route of Line A2 between Athens and Chalcis.
