Template:Infobox station/Header GR

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template implements custom headers for the infoboxes of all railway, metro and tram stations in Greece.

Presently, the headers cannot be integrated into {{#invoke:Adjacent stations}}, due to the lack of support for Greek over English, variable backgrounds, outer borders, conditional icons, and conditional line colours.

Usage

{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el =
| name    =
| mode    =
| mode_2  =
| line    =
| line_2  =
}}

• |name_el= Station name in Greek, as it appears on the signage
• |name= Station name in English, as it appears on the signage
• |mode= First mode of transport served
• |mode_2= Second mode of transport served (optional, requires |mode= to be set)
• |line= First metro line or mode stripe
• |line_2= Second metro line or mode stripe (optional)

Mode values

|mode= and |mode_2= supports the following values, but |mode_2= will not work unless |mode= is set:

Mode	Value	Output
Hellenic Railways Organisation	S
Hellenic Railways Organisation	SO
Athens International Airport (appears as white on a blue background)	AA
Athens Metro	AM
Athens Suburban Railway	AS
Athens Tram	AT
Patras Suburban Railway	PS
Thessaloniki Metro	TM
Thessaloniki Suburban Railway	TS

The system icon for Thessaloniki Metro was added in November 2024, but is currently unused in practice because New Railway Station and Thessaloniki railway station have their own articles.

In accordance with the situation on the ground, transit symbols (mode and mode_2) should be avoided on Athens and Thessaloniki Metro stations, except for:

• Multimodal interchanges with a common name and article (e.g. Neos Kosmos and Piraeus in Athens)
• Athens Metro Line 3 between Pallini and Koropi

The logo of Hellenic Train should not be used because they do not operate stations, similar to Renfe in Spain.

Stripe values

|line= and |line_2= supports the following values. There is no stripe for Athens Suburban Railway stations from Acharnes Railway Center to Chalcis.

Mode	Value	Colour	Notes
Athens Metro, Line 1	AM1	#007A33	—
Athens Metro, Line 2	AM2	#DA291C	—
Athens Metro, Line 3	AM3	#10069F	—
Athens Metro, Line 4	AM4	#FFA300	—
Athens Suburban Railway Piraeus to the Airport, except Athens	AS	#FFCD00	This template automatically sets the stripe to #00A3E0 if |name=Athens.
Athens Suburban Railway Zefyri to Aigio, and Athens	ASK	#00A3E0
Athens Tram	AT	#78BE20	—
Thessaloniki Metro, Line 1	TM1	#DA291C	The line colours are similar to the Athens Metro. TM12 sets the stripe to red/blue, according to signage inside stations such as Dimokratias (example): the template rejects TM12 as a bottom stripe, because it uses inset drop shadows to achieve the dual-line effect.
Thessaloniki Metro, Line 2	TM2	#10069F
Thessaloniki Suburban Railway Thessaloniki to Larissa only	TS	#10069F	—

Examples

National

Markup	Renders as
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Θήβα | name = Thiva | mode = S }}	Θήβα Thiva Example nameplate for Thebes, a simple OSE station.

Athens

Markup	Renders as
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Μαρούσι | name = Marousi | line = AM1 }}	Μαρούσι Marousi Example nameplate for Marousi, a simple metro station.
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Σύνταγμα | name = Syntagma | mode = AM | mode_2 = AT | line = AM2 | line_2 = AM3 }}	Σύνταγμα Syntagma Example nameplate for Syntagma, which is a metro and tram interchange. A separate nameplate for the tram stop is not required if it has the same name. The order of stripes are inverted at interchanges with Line 1, at Attiki, Monastiraki, Omonia and Piraeus.
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = ΚΑΤ | name = KAT | line = AM1 }}	ΚΑΤ Example nameplate for KAT, which only has one line because both names coincidentally use the same letters.
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Συγγρού–Φιξ | name = Sygrou–Fix | line = AM2 }} {{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Φίξ | name = Fix | mode = AT | line = AT }}	Συγγρού–Φιξ Sygrou–Fix Φίξ Fix Syngrou–Fix has two nameplates because the tram stop's name omits "Sygrou".
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Κινέττα | name = Kinetta | mode = AS | line = ASK }}	Κινέττα Kinetta Stripes for Athens Suburban Railway station nameplates are not the same as the lines that serve the station: see § Stripe values for more information.
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Αθηνών | name = Athens International Airport | mode = AA }}	Διεθνής Αερολιμένας Αθηνών Athens International Airport Athens Airport has a unique design, because it is owned by the airport authority.

Patras

Markup	Renders as
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Πάτρα | name = Patra | mode = PS }}	Πάτρα Patra Example nameplate for Patras, a simple Patras Suburban Railway station.

Thessaloniki

Markup	Renders as
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Νέα Ελβετία | name = Nea Elvetia | line = TM1 }}	Νέα Ελβετία Nea Elvetia Example nameplate for Nea Elvetia, a simple metro station.
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Νέος {{abbr|Σιδ.|Σιδηροδρομικός}} Σταθμός | name = New Railway Station | line = TM12 }}	Νέος Σιδ. Σταθμός New Railway Station Example nameplate for New Railway Station, where Lines 1 and 2 use the same platforms. The icons are omitted because the mainline railway station has its own article. You can use {{abbr}} to mark up words abbreviated on signage (e.g. Σιδ. as an abbreviation of Σιδηροδρομικός).
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Σίνδος | name = Sindos | mode = TS | line = TS }}	Σίνδος Sindos Example nameplate for Sindos, a simple Thessaloniki Suburban Railway station. The stripes are not the same as the lines that serve the station: see § Stripe values for more information.

Technical information

The mode icons will not appear in hard copies or mobile versions of articles that use this header: the former is to conserve printer ink, and the latter is to improve navigation on small screens.

History

This template replaced {{Infobox station/Header OASA}} in June 2023, ahead of the opening of the Thessaloniki Metro on 30 November 2024.
