The oldest proposal for a metro station at this location goes back to 1918, when it was proposed as a terminus for a metropolitan railway line essentially running the same route as the current Line 1.[7] Neos Sidirodromikos Stathmos was also the terminus for the 1988 Thessaloniki Metro proposal.[8]
