Arnissa railway station (Шаблон:Lang-el) is the railway station of Arnissa in West Macedonia, Greece. The station is located within the center of the settlement, on the Thessaloniki–Bitola railway, Шаблон:Convert from Thessaloniki, and is severed by both Local and Proastiakos Services.
History
Opened in June 1894 as Ostrovon railway station (Шаблон:Lang-el)[1] in what was then the Ottoman Empire at the completion of the Société du Chemin de Fer ottoman Salonique-Monastir, a branchline of the Chemins de fer Orientaux from Thessaloniki to Bitola. During this period, Northern Greece and the southern Balkans were still under Ottoman rule, and Skydras was known as Vertekop. Skydra was annexed by Greece on 18 October 1912 during the First Balkan War. During 1913, the Macedonian fighter Georgios Dikonymos-Makris served as the stationmaster, who, in the same year, contributed to the extermination of the important comitatist Vasil Tsekalarov.[2]
On 17 October 1925, The Greek government purchased the Greek sections of the former Salonica Monastir railway,[3] and the railway became part of the Hellenic State Railways, with the remaining section north of Florina seeded to Yugoslavia. In 1926 the station, along with the settlement, was renamed Arnissa.[1] In 1970, OSE became the legal successor to the SEK, taking over responsibilities for most of Greece's rail infrastructure. On 1 January 1971, the station and most of Greek rail infrastructure were transferred to the Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A., a state-owned corporation.[4] Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed monopoly of OSE for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s. Many small stations of the network with little passenger traffic were closed.
In 2001 the infrastructure element of OSE was created, known as GAIAOSE; it would henceforth be responsible for the maintenance of stations, bridges and other elements of the network, as well as the leasing and the sale of railway assists.[5] In 2003, OSE launched "Proastiakos SA", as a subsidiary to serve the operation of the suburban network in the urban complex of Athens during the 2004 Olympic Games. In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface.
Since 2007, the station is served by the Proastiakos Thessaloniki services to New Railway Station. In 2008, all Proastiakos were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE. In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cut back, and routes closed as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. In August 2013, Proastiakos services were extended to Florina. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[6] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[7]
Facilities
The station is still housed in the original 19th-century brick-built station building; however, as of (2023) the station is unstaffed, with no staffed booking office. However, there are waiting rooms. The platforms have no shelters or seating, but seating is located under the canopy, as well as a public payphone. There are no Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens or timetable poster boards on the platforms. Parking is located next to the forecourt, as well as a taxi pickup point.
Services
As of 2023, the station is served on a daily basis by six Regional trains between Thessaloniki and Florina.[8] There are no Services to Bitola as the short international connection is now disused, with all international traffic being routed via Idomeni and Gevgelija.
