==History==
The Station opened 22 June 2020<ref name="auto4">{{cite web|title=Greek minister slams Swiss over tax evasion|url=http://www.thelocal.ch/20150624/greek-minister-slams-swiss-over-tax-evasion|publisher=The Local ch|date=24 June 2015}}</ref> by Minister of Transport, Kostas Karamanlis.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.thebest.gr/article/566022-paradothike-to-tmima-kiato-aigio-tou-neou-trenou-i-ilektrokinisi-omos-argei-akomi|title=Στις ράγες τον Απρίλιο το τρένο στο τμήμα Κιάτο – Αίγιο |date=20 January 2020|newspaper=TheBest|language=el-GR|accessdate=20 January 2020}}</ref> as part of the €848-million ErgOSE<ref name="greekcitytimes.com"/> project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio railline<ref>{{cite news |title=Σε μία ώρα στην Κόρινθο από αύριο ο Προαστιακός |url=https://www.naftemporiki.gr/story/104712 |accessdate=20 August 2020 |work=Naftemporiki |date=26 September 2005 |location=[[Place:Athens|Athens]] |language=el}}</ref> co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="auto1"/> It is constructed on upgraded sections of the former Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP line.

==Facilities==
The raised station is accessed via stairs or a ramp. It has two [[Engineering:Side platform|side platform]]s, with station buildings located below the platform level, with access to the platform level via stairs or lift. The Station buildings are equipped only with a waiting area. At platform level, there are sheltered seating and [[Dot-matrix display]] departure and arrival screens and timetable poster boards on both platforms. It is equipped with CCTV systems,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://protionline.gr/2018/07/anatroph-sto-diagonismo-hlektrokinhsh-ths-grammhs-kiato-rododafnh/|title=Ανατροπή στο διαγωνισμό ηλεκτροκίνησης της γραμμής Κιάτο-Ροδοδάφνη|date=2 July 2018}}</ref> Fire Detection systems & [[Company:Honeywell|Honeywell]] Security Systems.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zarifopoulos.com/portfolio/ose-railway-stations/|title=Σιδηροδρομικοί Σταθμοί ΟΣΕ}}</ref> There is no car park on-site, as '''Palea EO Korinthou Patron''' runs alongside eastbound platforms. Currently, there is no local bus stop connecting the station.

==Services==
The station is served by Line 5 of Proastiakos Athens between Athens, Aigio, and Kiato.<ref name="Athens Suburban Railway"/> Around 10 trains call at the station each day.
