Aigio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αιγίου, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Aigíou) is a train station in Aigio in the northern Peloponnese, Greece.[3][4] Since June 2020, it is served by Hellenic Train local services to Kiato.[5] The station is located on the outskirts of Aigio, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the town's centre.
Construction was completed several years after the suspension of regional services on the metre-gauge railways of the Peloponnese in 2011.[6] After a series of test runs commencing in April 2019,[7] railway traffic to and from Aigio had been expected to resume in August 2019.[8] However, a series of delays meant that the opening of the section between Aigio and Kiato was postponed until June 2020.[9] Services finally commenced on 22 June 2020.[10] The station is served by Hellenic Train local services to and from Kiato.[5] The trains currently in use between Aigio and Kiato are the Stadler GTW 2/6 diesel multiple units, constructed by Stadler Rail in 2003. The electrification of the section between Aigio and Kiato will allow direct services to and from Athens; in the meantime, passengers must change between diesel and electric trains at Kiato.[10] Travel time between the two stations is 53 minutes. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[11]
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 Airport–Patras railway) took over that responsibility.[1][12]
Facilities
The station is equipped with waiting rooms, shelters, toilets and a cafe. There is also an unstaffed ticket office. Outside of the station there is a big parking lot (free parking). It is connected to the city centre by the local city bus. Road access to the station is provided by two narrow paved roads, which still need improvement (mainly widening and proper signage).
