History

The station was opened in 1874, two years after the line from

Alexandroupoli (then Dedeagac) to Istanbul via Edirne was completed.[6] Built by the Chemins de fer Orientaux (CO), from Istanbul to Vienna. The railway reached Ftelia in 1873, when the line from Istanbul to Edirne and Bulgaria was opened.[7] When the railway was built it was all within the Ottoman Empire. Feres (Ottoman: Feretzik) was one of the stations on this line.[8]

During World War I, the railway was an important link as the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary were all

Alexandroupoli to Svilengrad, except for a short section of about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi)[9] in Turkey serving Edirne Karaagaç station and for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) between the Greek border and Svilengrad station in Bulgaria[10] come under the control of the French-Hellenic Railway Company
(CFFH), a subsidiary of the CO, when the CFFH was incorporated in July 1929.

Alexandroupoli–Svilengrad line[12]
