History

The station opened 9 September 2007, replacing an older station of the same name further down the same line. In the early 2000s, the station was included in a broader infrastructure upgrade programme carried out by OSE and funded in part by the European Union. As part of this initiative, Aiginio station was rebuilt in 2007. The modernisation included the reconstruction of platforms to accommodate modern electric trains, the installation of new shelters and ramps for accessibility, and improved track infrastructure to support higher-speed services. Despite this investment, the station remained unstaffed, and its facilities were minimal compared to larger urban stations.

In 2003, OSE had launched "Proastiakos SA", as a subsidiary to serve the operation of the suburban network in the urban complex of Athens during the 2004 Olympic Games. In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2008, all Proastiakos were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE. By 2014 however, the station buildings were rundown and unused. However, trains still called at the unstaffed halt.[4]

Facilities

When the station opened, it was equipped with a purpose-built booking hall[5] and four platforms, with shelters. The platforms were (and still are) connected by subways. However, the station is not equipped with lifts. (As of 2020) The station is unstaffed, with buildings in a poor state of repair. The station is equipped with a small car park in the forecourt, but has limited capacity.

Services

As of 12 May 2025, Line T1[3] of the Thessaloniki Regional Railway calls at this station,[6] with eight trains per day in each direction to Larissa and Thessaloniki.[7]

Intercity trains on the Athens–Thessaloniki axis pass though the station, but do not call at it.
