Template:Infobox station/Header GR

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Module:GR header

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 Suburban Railway	`TS`

As of September 2024^[update], the Thessaloniki Metro does not have a system icon.

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)
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`	`TM12` sets the stripe to red/blue, according to signage inside stations such as Dimokratias (example):^[1] 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
}}

{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el = Μαρούσι
| name    = Marousi
| line    = AM1
}}

Example nameplate for Marousi, a simple metro station.

{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el = Σύνταγμα
| name    = Syntagma
| mode    = AM
| mode_2  = AT
| line    = AM2
| line_2  = AM3
}}

Example nameplate for Syntagma, which is a metro and tram interchange. A separate nameplate for the tram stop is not required if it has the same name.

The order of stripes are inverted at interchanges with Line 1, at Attiki, Monastiraki, Omonia and Piraeus.

{{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.

{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el = Συγγρού–Φιξ
| name    = Sygrou–Fix
| line    = AM2
}}
{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el = Φίξ
| name    = Fix
| mode    = AT
| line    = AT
}}

Συγγρού–Φιξ Sygrou–Fix Φίξ Fix

Syngrou–Fix has two nameplates because the tram stop's name omits "Sygrou".

{{Infobox station/Header GR
| name_el = Κινέττα
| name    = Kinetta

| line    = ASK
}}

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.
