Proposed Line 4 (Orange Line)
Alsos Veikou - Maroussi A new line, planned, but no funding is secured as of May 2009. On November 4, 2010, it was announced that a call for tenders for the construction of the western branch shall be published in late 2011. Currently geotechnical investigations are taking place at various locations on the proposed route.
According to the Metro Development Study, two new lines would be constructed, as branches of the existing lines: a line 2 branch from Panepistimio to Alsos Veikou and a line 3 branch from Panormou to Maroussi. Further studies showed that the construction of an new separate line combining these two branches is preferable. The proposal also recommends lighter rolling stock than the type used in lines 2 and 3, which shall operate fully automatically without a driver. The proposed route for line 4 is:
- Alsos Veikou
- Galatsi
- Kypseli
- Dikastiria
- Alexandras
- Exarhia
- Panepistimio (new station with underpass connection to existing line 2 station)
- Kolonaki
- Evangelismos (existing line 3 station)
- Kaissariani
- Ano Ilissia
- Zografou
- Goudi
- Katehaki (existing line 3 station)
- Faros
- Filothei
- Sidera
- O.A.K.A.
- Paradissos
- O.T.E
- Maroussi (existing line 1 station)

“He [Roosevelt] has made some speeches that indicate that he is going quite beyond anything that he advocated when he was in the White House, and has proposed a program which is absolutely impossible to carry out except by a revision of the Constitution.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
