History

It opened on 18 July 2006, and should not be confused with the older station on the Piraeus–Patras railway that is located further south, inside the town of Aspropyrgos. In 2008, all Athens Suburban Railway services were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE. In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.[9] 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[10] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. In August 2021, a train (train 1329 Kiato to Piraeus) on approach to the station was attacked by stones, damaging the driver's cab.[11] In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[12]
