Athens Tram Line 7 (Asklepieio Voulas – Agia Triada Piraeus) is back to full service after Thursday’s heavy rain affected the seaside route on 2 October 2025. STASY says the line was briefly split into separate sections earlier in the day because water pooled on parts of the track.
How long did the disruption last?
Through the morning and early afternoon, trams ran only on parts of the route. By 16:30, STASY confirmed that full service had returned the entire way between Asklepieio Voulas and Agia Triada in Piraeus.
Which stops were affected?
Several stops along the waterfront were unavailable during the partial suspension. STASY listed the following as out of service during the disruption:
- Loutra Alimou
- 1st Agiou Kosma
- 2nd Agiou Kosma
- Elliniko
What changed since earlier reports?
The earlier split operation: running between Asklepieio Voulas – Plateia Katraki, Paleo Dimarcheio – Agios Alexandros, and Zephyros – Agia Triada, has ended. Normal service now runs across the entire Line 7 route.
What caused the disruption?
Intense rain across Attica led to water collecting on the rails. STASY pointed to issues with EYDAP manholes along parts of the line, so service was divided for safety.
Who responded?
STASY operations teams watched the network in real time and adjusted service to keep riders moving while crews handled the problem. The operator again noted EYDAP infrastructure issues as the source of the water build-up.
When will service return to normal?
Service was back to normal by late afternoon on Thursday. Before you head out, check STASY live updates, especially if bad weather is in the forecast.
Where can you find more information?
For the latest operational notices and first and last tram times, follow STASY announcements and local transport coverage in Athens. These channels share real-time changes affecting the seaside section and central interchanges.
Traveling tonight?
To help concertgoers traveling to and from the Panathenaic Stadium, STASY will extend Metro Lines 2 and 3 hours until 02:00 on Thursday night. This gives more room for late-night trips between central Athens and Piraeus after the Robbie Williams concert.
What should passengers do?
- Check real-time updates from STASY before you set out.
- Allow extra time if rain is forecast around the seaside section.
- Use Metro Lines 2 and 3 for late-night trips after the concert.
With Line 7 restored, pressure should ease at busy seaside stops and connections across Athens and Piraeus should improve as the weekend gets going.
