Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos (Greek: Νέος Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός, literally New Railway Station, abbreviated on maps as N. Sid. Stathmos)[3] is an under-construction metro station at the New Thessaloniki Railway Station, serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. It will serve as the western terminus of both lines and is expected to enter service in 2021.[4] Construction of this station has been held back by major archaeological finds, and it is designated as a mid-importance archaeological site by Attiko Metro, the company overseeing its construction.[5] Despite the delays, construction at Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos will finish before Dimokratias, Venizelou, and Aghia Sofia stations, but since those won't enter service until 2021, Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos will not be opened until 2021 either.[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]
