The electric train (ISAP), nevertheless, the urban railroad, and all TrainOSE schedules (for the organization’s buses as well) will suspend operation on Friday to celebrate the day with a 24-hour strike called by the General Confederation of Workers of Greece. The suspension of urban railways on Friday will affect the stops between Doukissis Plakentias and the Airport, as this part of the blue line is managed by TrainOSE.
