Trains and the suburban railway will be not operating on Tuesday, July 12, due to the 24-hour strike called by union workers. The strike will also disrupt the metro between Dukissis Plakentias and the Athens International Airport stations and vice versa. The unionists issued a statement explaining they were protesting against the privatisation of the railway after Italian company TRENITALIA submitted a binding tender. TRAINOSE workers decided to continue industrial action in the suburban railway until Thursday, July 14.
