25 Martiou station

25 Martiou (Greek: 25ης Μαρτίου, literally 25th of March)[2] is an under-construction metro station serving Thessaloniki Metro's Line 1 and Line 2. The station takes its name from a nearby major road, which commemorates the traditional date of the start of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. It is expected to enter service in 2020.[1]

Travelling on Line 1 or Line 2 from N. Sid. Stathmos, 25 Martiou is the last station at which the two lines share tunnels. From here eastwards, Line 1 continues to Nea Elvetia (and Pylaia depot) and Line 2 to Mikra.

This station also appears in the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[3] In older iterations of the Thessaloniki Metro Lines Development Plan, the station is listed as Patrikiou, named after Minas Patrikios (el), a lawyer who in 1925 became the first elected Mayor of Thessaloniki.[4] In the 1988 proposal, Patrikiou and 25 Martiou are separate stations.[3]
