OSE class 460

Series 460 is used in Thessaloniki suburban Thessaloniki-Larissa line, and in Athens line 1, 2, 3,[4] 4 and 5.

In 2004, OSE proceeded to order 20 trainsets on the Desiro family of 5 coaches by Siemens AG[3] which, in collaboration with Greek shipyards and based on the Desiro platform, supplied OSE with the Desiro EMU-5 trains. They were built in the Greek Shipyards of Skaramangas. In 2004, one of them came to Greece[5]and eventually received by OSE in 2006.[6] On 14-2-2009 the routes Ano Liossia - Airport with these trains started.[7] Already in 2016, it was operating on the suburban line of Athens to the airport,[8] Chalkis[9] and Kiato,[10] as well as in Thessaloniki, in the line to Larissa,[11] however, with the gradual electrification of the railway lines, they were also launched on the Piraeus Line. On 28 March 2016, the first Desiro EMU-5 series 460 was launched in Dhekelia.[12]

The coloring of the wagons consists of purple horizontal strips on white, covering the largest surface of the vehicles. The doors are yellow. Later, it was applied to the majority of vehicles, advertising overlay on biodiversity, by DEI, as well as other advertisements[13] as an attempt to repair their bad aesthetic image after being vandalized by graffiti. Overlapping remains so far on several vehicles as well as other types of rolling stock.
