History

In the early years, the station was known under the name Bogiati (Μπογιάτι) or Vogiati (Βογιάτι), which derived from a common name of the settlement of Agios Stefanos. It was renamed to Oion (Οίον) and changed again to its current name in 2006. The station was reopened on 6 May 2005.

The station is served by Proastiakos, with frequent services to Athens Central Station, Oinoi and Chalcis.[2]
