Feres railway station (Template:Lang-el) is a railway station in Feres in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. Located outside the center of Feres, it is an unmanned, however there are waiting rooms. The station is the first stop after Alexandroupolis, as the train heads north out of the country.[2]

History

The station was opened in June 1872 when the line from Alexandroupoli (then Dedeagac) to Istanbul via Edirne was completed.[3] Feres (Ottoman: Feretzik) was one of the stations on this line.[4] 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.[4]

Services

As of 2015, the station is only severed by three daily pairs of local trains Alexandroupoli–Dikaia.[5]
