History

The station opened 7 September 2008 as part of the upgrades to the Piraeus–Platy Line. In 2009, with the Greek debt 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. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[5] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.

Facilities

The station is staffed, with a working ticket office (as of 2019) and waiting rooms. There are toilets and a small restaurant at the station. The platforms can be reached by a raised walkway accessed by stairs or lifts.
