New Railway Station metro station (Greek: Νέος Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός, ⓘ), abbreviated on signage as Neos Sid. Stathmos (Νέος Σιδ. Σταθμός),[3][4] is a metro station at the Thessaloniki railway station, serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It serves as the western terminus of both lines and entered service in 2024.[5] Construction of this station had been held back by major archaeological finds, and it is designated as a mid-importance archaeological site by Elliniko Metro, the company overseeing its construction.[6]
The oldest proposal for a metro station at this location goes back to 1918, when it was proposed as a terminus for a metropolitan railway line essentially running the same route as the current Line 1.[7] Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos was also the terminus for the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[8]
