The line Velestinou-Kalampaka was closed in stages, with the section Velestino-Paleofarsalos ceasing operations in 1999, while in 2001, the section from Paleofarsalos to Kalampaka was converted to standard gauge (1435 mm), to facilitate a direct connection with the Athens–Thessaloniki line at Paleofarsalos. The tourist use of the line in the Velestino–Aerino section has been planned.
