# Line A3 (Athens Suburban Railway)

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 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

The Athens–Chalcis train service, which forms part of Line A3 today, became part of the Athens Suburban Railway timetable on 10 February 2014, initially using existing diesel multiple units. Electric train services using Class 460 electric multiple units were introduced on 30 July 2017, when the electrification of the Piraeus–Platy railway between Agioi Anargyroi and Athens was complete.
