Nea Peramos railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Νέας Περάμου, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Nea Peramos) is a station in Nea Peramos, a suburb of the city of Megara, West Attica, Greece. It is located east of Megara, near the A8 motorway between Athens and Patras. It was opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth[5] and its current form dates to 2007. The station is served by the Athens Suburban Railway between Piraeus and Kiato.[6] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located within the city itself.[7]
The station was opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth,[5] as part of Line 2 of the Athens Suburban Railway began serving the station. The station was further updated its current form dates to 2007. It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP, located within the city.[7] In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.[8] Timetables were cutback and routes closed, as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[9] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[10]
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][11]
