History
The station opened 1 October 2014[5] by Minister of Transport, Michalis Chrisochoidis.[6][1][7] as part of the upgrades and renovation to the line, which also involved electrification of the line.[8] Initially when the station opened, it operated without the use of lifts (expected to come into operateon in early 2015).[8] The station was not foreseen in the initial transport study proposal "Renovation of the railway line and construction of electric drive - signaling - remote control in the section Piraeus - Athens - Three Bridges", as the contract 994/2005 was called.[1] In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE (Now Hellenic Train) , currently, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[9] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.
In January 2019, the station was temporarily closed, following instructions from the OSE. The closure of the station is attributed to technical reasons, according to TrainOSE. The station closed at 17.05 on Thursday, 31 January 2019.[10] In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[11]
