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)
