Platanos railway station

The Station opened 22 June 2020^{[citation needed]} by Minister of Transport, Kostas Karamanlis.^[7] as part of the €848-million ErgOSE^[3] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio railline^[8] co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.^[4][5] It is constructed on upgraded sections of the former Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP line. It was one of three new stations in (Xylokastro, Akrata, and Aegio) and six holts (Diminio, Lykoporia, Lygia, Platanos Beach, Diakopto, and Eliki) to come online when the section of track opened.^[9] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP, which is located just west of the current station.

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][10]

The raised station is accessed via stairs or a ramp. It has two side platforms, with station buildings located below the platform level, with access to the platform level via stairs or lifts. The Station buildings are equipped only with a waiting area. At platform level, both platforms have sheltered seating and Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens and timetable poster boards. It is equipped with CCTV systems,^[11] Fire Detection systems & Honeywell Security Systems.^[12] There is no car park on-site, as Palea EO Korinthou Patron runs alongside eastbound platforms. Currently, there is no local bus stop connecting the station.

Since 22 November 2025, the following services call at this station:

• Hellenic Train local service between Kiato and Aigio, with six trains per day in each direction: passengers have to change at Kiato for Athens Suburban Railway trains towards Athens and Piraeus.^[13]
