The station is served by Line 1, and is {{convert|23.46|km|mi|abbr=off}} down the line from the southern terminus of {{stn|Piraeus}}, between {{metro|Nerantziotissa}} to the south and {{metro|KAT}} to the north.<ref name="isap-2012"/>

The station is managed by STASY, and was rebuilt with step-free access as part of the renovation of Line 1 in 2004.<ref name="isap-2012"/>

== History == The Marousi metro station is on the site of a former Lavrion Square–Strofyli railway station called '''Amarousion''', which was open from 4 February 1885{{which calendar|date=March 2024}} to 8 August 1938.

The current metro station on an elevated viaduct was built by the Hellenic Electric Railways, and opened on 1 September 1957: in 2004, the Athens–Piraeus Electric Railways renovated the station with a new roof and step-free access.<ref name="isap-2012"/>

== Proposals ==

Since the late 1990s, Elliniko Metro and the Greek government have proposed that Marousi would serve a second metro line. The first proposal consisted of a branch of Line 3 from {{metro|Panormou}}, which would be partially elevated after Filothei.<ref name="ametro-extensions-2001">{{cite web|title=Extensions|url=http://www.ametro.gr/cgi-bin/showextensgr.cgi|website=Attiko Metro|access-date=24 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010224071621/http://www.ametro.gr/cgi-bin/showextensgr.cgi|archive-date=24 February 2001|location=Athens|language=Greek|date=24 February 2001}}</ref> In December 2005, Elliniko Metro revised the proposal to a U-shaped Line 4 from this station to {{metro|Alsos Veikou}} via {{metro|Kaisariani}}, because they believed that the branch would have limited the capacity of Line 3.<ref name="ametro-20051201">{{cite web|last1=Souflias|first1=Georgios|title=The New Extensions of the Athens Metro|url=http://www.ametro.gr/cgi-bin/showpressgr.cgi?id=90|website=Attiko Metro|access-date=6 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927203441/http://www.ametro.gr/cgi-bin/showpressgr.cgi?id=90|archive-date=27 September 2007|location=Athens|date=1 December 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="ametro-map-20051223">{{cite web|title=Map (untitled)|url=http://www.ametro.gr/main/project/description/zoom/map_big_down.jpg|website=Attiko Metro|access-date=6 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051223220424/http://www.ametro.gr/main/project/description/zoom/map_big_down.jpg|archive-date=23 December 2005|location=Athens|date=23 December 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref>
