“There are few outstanding issues left, and only at the entrances of the Venizelos Station, which are also a matter of a few weeks to be closed” said Nikos Tachiaos
“The ‘excavations’ chapter is coming to an end. Within five months, a miracle happened”, the president of Attiko Metro pointed out in a Facebook post Nikos Tahiaos, referring to the Thessaloniki metro and specifically to Venizelos Station. As he pointed out, “only the epilogue remains which begins to be written in April when the first train will move from the Train Station to the New Railway Station and when – at the same time – the return of the antiquities to the Venizelos Station will have started”.
“There are few pending issues, and only at the entrances of the Venizelos Station, which are also a matter of a few weeks to be closed. This does not mean that we are done with the ancients, we will take another step forward to exploit the wealth of the city that has been revealed to us. We are proud to have found a way to highlight a large part of the findings inside the stations or in spaces secured thanks to the project. Crossover Museum, remember it, let’s say” he clarified, quoting a related video.
The president of Attiko Metro, Nikos Tachiaos, noted that most of the works have already been completed and specifically noted: “I will not go back to the construction sites that were gathered and the roads that were released, nor to the stations that are entering the commissioning process one by one. Those who had the opportunity to visit Papafi Station during the Open House, if they could enter today, would have seen that even the last details have been closed: The ventilation, the loudspeakers and the lights above the platform screen doors, which are appearing for the first time in Greece, give a different image than the one they saw. The same goes for the routes for people with disabilities that were rebuilt based on the latest specifications.”
Mr. Tachiaos referring to the station of Hagia Sophia, he emphasized that it will be a new – the most central, perhaps – landmark of Thessaloniki and explained that any pending construction works are due to the disruption of the supply chain given that due to its importance, materials were ordered different from those for the standard construction of the rest of the stations. However, within days, he emphasized, the traction systems it hosts will be electrified, which means that trains will now be able to move from one end of the line to the other once the last approximately 130 meters of railway tracks remaining at the height of the Venizelou. All the rest of the railway infrastructure, including the Kalamaria extension, has been built.
“As for the Venizelos Station, within five months, a miracle happened. “Miracle” will be the final result, even for the most skeptical. In short, we have changed capital, we are changing era. Thessaloniki already has the opportunity to start its transformation. It is up to her to seize it,” he pointed out.
