Status
The Athens-Thessaloniki intercity train currently takes about 4h53, noticeably slower than the roughly 3h59 it ran before February 2023 -- ongoing speed restrictions and rebuilding work followed a fatal accident on this line, so the schedule keeps moving and is worth rechecking closer to travel.

Where to go
The Athens end of this line is Larissa Station (Σταθμός Λαρίσης), a different terminus from Kifissos, which is the intercity coach station -- a traveler comparing train and bus options for this corridor is starting from two different places in the city.
