Kastanies railway station (el|Σιδηροδρομική Στάση Καστανέων|Sidirodromiki Stasi Kastanies) is a railway stop in Kastanies, Greece.[3] It was opened in 1971 by the OSE. It is one of the northernmost railway stops in Greece, close to the Turkish border.[4] lies 1.1km (00.7miles) from the village center, down an unnamed road on the edge of the village. The journey from Kastanies to Alexandroupoli takes around 128 mins.[5]
The station opened in 1971 as part of Greek efforts to create a passing loop for the CO. The then SEK designed and constructed a 9km (06miles) direct connection between Nea Vyssa and Marasia within the Greek borders, bypassing Karaağaç. The new line section included Kastanies railway station and a new bridge over the river Ardas.[6] Karaağaç railway station was abandoned, the track lifted and the building converted to other use.
Following the Tempi crash, Hellenic Train announced rail replacement bus's[7] on certain routes across the Greek rail network, starting Wednesday 15th March 2023.[8]
The stations is equipped solely with a waiting room on the single platform. The unstaffed halt has been the victim of repeated graffiti and vandalism.
the stop is served by only one daily pair of local trains to/from Alexandroupoli. There are currently no services to Svilengrad.
all services are run as a rail-replacement bus service.
