Aiginio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Αιγίνιο, romanized: Sidirodromikos stathmos Aiginio) is a railway station in Korinos, Central Macedonia, Greece. Located in a residential area 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) east of the centre of the town, it opened in 2000. It is served by regional trains between Thessaloniki, Kalambaka, Palaiofarsalos and by the Suburban services for Thessaloniki, Litochoro and Larissa.




History


The station opened in 2000, replacing an older station of the same name further down the same line. The following year, in 2001, the infrastructure element of OSE was created, known as GAIAOSE, it would henceforth be responsible for the maintenance of stations, bridges and other elements of the network, as well as the leasing and the sale of railway assists. In 2003, OSE 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.

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 onsite parking.
