Talk:Athens Metro

categories
Shouldn't it be on Category:Underground rapid transit systems and/or Category:Electric railways? NerdyNSK 23:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It seems to have been put there, under the country of Greece. Its in the subcategories Category:Electric railways in Greece and Category:Underground rapid transit in Greece

Proposed Future Expansion
This expansion proposal was not proposed by the Ministry of Transportation but by G. Souflias (YPEXODE). It cannot be funded and was proposed for only one reason: to block future extensions of Athens Tram by authorizing new metro lines. I don't think it is worth a subsection.

 * Really, Do you have any links to any websites? I'm a little curious and would like to read up on it. El Greco(talk) 18:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, there is some discussion about it on http://www.amnizia.com/forum/, where most greek railfans meet. Sv1xv (talk) 18:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Some underground stations are not yet open. I saw two - one was just a concrete shell, the other was furnished but all wrapped in plastic. --Northernhenge (talk) 19:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies. Aghia Paraskevi (September 2010) and Haidari (under construction, spring 2011) are already mentioned in the article. --Northernhenge (talk) 16:31, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Name & article coverage
According to WP:NAME articles should be titled/named with the most common English name. That said, for this article that would be Athens Metro, not Attica Metro. Athens Metro gets more hits on Google than Attica Metro. El Greco(talk) 18:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Although Attica Metro is most accurate, Athens Metro is the optimum choise for readers of Wikipedia (per WP:NAME). I would vote to add Attica Metro as a redirection. Sv1xv (talk) 18:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Second off, ISAP is considered part of the Athens Metro............all maps show it as such. El Greco(talk) 23:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It is not, although the initial intention was to merge ISAP with Attiko Metro. The workers union of ISAP opposed it and the plan is shelved. Currently ISAP is completely independent. The only connection between Attiko Metro and ISAP is in the maps, which is just public relations.
 * However, if these facts are explained in the article, a brief reference to ISAP with a redirection to the full article is not completely out of place. Sv1xv (talk) 04:07, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Temporarily protected
I've protected the article for a bit until the edit dispute can be resolved. Once a consensus is reached, either let me know on my talk page or request unprotection at WP:RFPP. Nakon 23:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

ISAP
ISAP does no longer exist. Should we refer to line 1, as part of the Athens Metro? --Gim55 (talk) 16:12, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, eventually ISAP shall be renamed Athens Metro line 1 (or something similar) and ISAP shall remain as a redirect. It must not be merged in the present article; the extensive historical content in ISAP shall unbalance Athens Metro. Also, to be consistent, there are some issues in both articles, which must be resolved before renaming. I recommend that we should wait for a few weeks to see what terminology STASY S.A. shall adopt for the various systems, lines and operations. Presently STASY still calls it ISAP. SV1XV (talk) 03:57, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Also visit this link to see the current very low level of integration of the three systems in STASY. SV1XV (talk) 09:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Should we include "Stations on Line 1" on "Line 1 (Green line)", like the rest 2 ?? --Inov2011 (talk) 23:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * ISAP and Athens Metro are still separate operations, better leave it as it is now. I don't believe that the government wants to try to merge them and open a new front with the ISAP Union. SV1XV (talk) 10:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Split
Because the article is growing, the lines should be summarised and new articles created for individual lines (in the form "Line X (Athens Metro)". In addition, because of the legal company mergers, we should now consider Line 1 as part of the Athens Metro. --Marianian(talk) 10:59, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I agree with both. As far as Line 1 is concerned we should have done it along time ago, as I read somewhere that there was a law passed (but not enforced) in the late 90s (when underground lines 2 and 3 were being built) in order for a merger to take place. Both ISAP and Attiko Metro services are part of the Metropolitan Railway of Athens (Athens metro). The only difference is that Line 1 (most of it) is above the surface whereas lines 2 and 3 are completely underground, something that occurs in many other metro systems as well! And now, after the official merger, ISAP does not actually exist, right? --RoseAphro (talk) 13:13, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * A law from the 1990s? If you know the source I can put it under "consolidation". --Marianian(talk) 22:59, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Stations and lines
What is the point of including in the list 5 lines that are not even under construction? Of which 4 don't even have information about length and number of stations? There is a section for the future of the system, and proposed lines are already mentioned there. The list with 8 lines is just confusing and misleading. I propose to keep only the actual operational lines in the list, as with the other articles about metro systems on Wikipedia. --Ita140188 (talk) 14:48, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

number of stations
64 or 68? 24 in line 1, 20 in line 2, 24 now in line 3 total 68--2A02:587:440F:273A:482D:D2B:8519:21FF (talk) 08:16, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * There are 64 stations. Some of lines share the same station, so you are counting the same station twice. Mattximus (talk) 14:29, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Time to Expand Using Greek-Counterpart Translation?
I've been thinking for some time that the Athens Metro article (and the articles for its individual lines, mostly Line 1) may need to be expanded to match the length of their Greek-language counterparts. I was going to start doing it myself, having planned to start with the "History" section, but I didn't want to erase any of the articles' existing English-language text.
