Feres railway station (Template:Lang-el) is a railway station that serves the town of Feres, Evros in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Located 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) west of the town center, the station opened in 1896 by the Chemins de fer Orientaux, (now part of OSE). Today TrainOSE operates just 4 daily Regional trains[2] to Alexandroupoli and Ormenio. The station is unstaffed[3] however there are waiting rooms available, if open. Feres is the first stop after Alexandroupolis, as the railway heads north.[4]
History
The station was opened in June 1872 when the line from Alexandroupoli (then Dedeagac) to Istanbul via Edirne was completed.[5] Feres (Ottoman: Feretzik) was one of the stations on this line.[6] Until 1909 there was no connection between the lines Istanbul–Alexandroupoli and Thessaloniki–Alexandroupoli (opened in 1896) at Alexandroupoli; a connection existed between Feres and Potamos (near current Avas).[6]
Services
As of 2020[update], the station is only served by two daily pairs of regional trains Alexandroupoli–Ormenio.[7]
