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

A system icon for Thessaloniki Metro was added in November 2024.

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 (e.g. Neos Kosmos and Piraeus in Athens, New Railway Station in Thessaloniki)
• 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.

{{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.

You can use {{abbr}} to mark up abbreviated words (e.g. Σιδ. as an abbreviation of Σιδηροδρομικός).
{{Infobox station/Header GR | name_el = Δημοκρατίας | name = Dimokratias | line = TM12 }}	Δημοκρατίας Dimokratias Example nameplate for Dimokratias, where Lines 1 and 2 use the same platforms.

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.
