Line A2 is an Athens Suburban Railway (Proastiakos) line in Athens, Greece, managed by Hellenic Train. The service connects Ano Liosia railway station with the Airport. The line shares a part of its course with lines A1 and A4 as well as Metro Line 3, but also with line A3 at Acharnes Railway Center. The first Suburban line was inaugurated on 30 July 2004, using 17 OSE Class 560 DMUs between Larissa Station (Now Athens) and the Airport, and although it is shown as a separate route on maps, it currently operates as a feeder line to Line A1. The line now exclusively uses OSE class 460 EMUs rolling stock.
