History
The new station should not be confused with the old station of the former Piraeus–Patras railway, located north of the current station on Iroon Polytechniou street between Aretis and Distomou streets, which closed in July 2007. Maintenance works were carried out in 2019, in part to repair water damage from winter flooding the previous year.[6]
The station is owned by GAIAOSE, which since 3 October 2001 owns most railway stations in Greece: the company was also in charge of rolling stock from December 2014 until October 2025, when Greek Railways (the owner of the Piraeus–Platy railway) took over that responsibility.[1][7]
Facilities
The station building is above the platforms, with access to the platform level via stairs or lifts. The station buildings are also equipped with toilets and a staffed ticket office. At platform level, there are sheltered seating and Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens or timetable poster boards on both platforms on all four platforms. Access to platforms 1-4 is via the main concourse. Platforms 3 & 4 are much longer than Platforms 1 & 2. To the left of the station buildings, there is a passenger car park, with free parking. Outside the station, there is a bus stop where the local services call. Road access to the station is provided by a small square that opens out onto Leof. Dimokratias.
