Panachaiki railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Παναχαϊκή, romanized: Sidirodromikos Stathmos Panachaiki) is a railway station in Patras in the northwestern Peloponnese, Greece. The station is located in the city, close to Pampeloponnisiako Stadium, on Piraeus–Patras line and is severed by Proastiakos Patras Services. Pending the completion of the Athens Airport–Patras railway, it will be connected to Aigio, Diakopto and Kiato, where connecting train services to Athens Airport and Piraeus (via Athens central railway station) are available.[4]
From 29 February 2020, service was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, becoming the starting point of the new Line P1 of the Suburban Railway to the town of Kato Achaia.[5]
In November 2022, TERNA-MYTILINEOS, the contractor of the project to complete the final phase of Athens Airport–Patras railway was charged with undertaking the electrification project in the previous section, from Kiato to Aegio.[6] With the electric train, the distance on the Athens-Kiato-Rio axis will be covered in less than two hours with an intercity express.
