The new station lies on the Athens Airport–Patras railway, and was opened as the line's western terminus on 27 September 2005.[1] It remained so until 9 July 2007, when the line was extended to Kiato. The station is served by Line 2 of Proastiakos Athens between Piraeus and Kiato, and Line 5 between Aigio and central Athens/Athens Airport.[2]
The station has five platforms, but only two are presently in use. In the subway to the platforms, copies of ancient artifacts excavated during the station's construction are on display. A cafe is located at the entrance to the station. There is a large, free car park, a bus stop and a taxi rank.
