History

The station opened on 8 August 2010, during the Greek debt crisis. With the crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cutback, and routes closed as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. Services from Athens Airport & Athens were cut back, with some ticket offices closing, reducing the reliability of services, and passenger numbers. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[4] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.

Facilities

The station has a ticket office and cafe 'Out of the Box coffee shop'. At platform level, the station is equipped with Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens on the platforms for passenger information, seating, and information boards, with access to the platforms via life or escalator. Outside the station, there is a bus stop where the local 604, 724 & B9 call. There is no onsite Parking available at the station.
