Aigio railway station

Aigio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αιγίου, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Aigíou) is a train station in Aigio in the northern Peloponnese, Greece.^[3][4] Since June 2020, it is served by Hellenic Train local services to Kiato.^[5] The station is located on the outskirts of Aigio, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from the town's centre.

Construction was completed several years after the suspension of regional services on the metre-gauge railways of the Peloponnese in 2011.^[6] After a series of test runs commencing in April 2019,^[7] railway traffic to and from Aigio had been expected to resume in August 2019.^[8] However, a series of delays meant that the opening of the section between Aigio and Kiato was postponed until June 2020.^[9] Services finally commenced on 22 June 2020.^[10] The station is served by Hellenic Train local services to and from Kiato.^[5] The trains currently in use between Aigio and Kiato are the Stadler GTW 2/6 diesel multiple units, constructed by Stadler Rail in 2003. The electrification of the section between Aigio and Kiato will allow direct services to and from Athens; in the meantime, passengers must change between diesel and electric trains at Kiato.^[10] Travel time between the two stations is 53 minutes. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.^[11]

In August 2025, the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport confirmed the creation of a new body, Greek Railways (Greek: Σιδηρόδρομοι Ελλάδος, romanized: Ellinikí Sidiródromi Monoprósopi)^[12] to assume responsibility for rail infrastructure, planning, modernisation projects, and rolling stock across Greece. Previously, these functions were divided among several state-owned entities: OSE, which managed infrastructure; ERGOSÉ, responsible for modernisation projects; and GAIAOSÉ, which owned stations, buildings, and rolling stock. OSE had overseen both infrastructure and operations until its vertical separation in 2005.^[13] Rail safety has been identified as a key priority.^[14] The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the Tempi crash of February 2023, in which 57 people died after a head-on collision.^[15]

The station is equipped with waiting rooms, shelters, toilets and a cafe. There is also an unstaffed ticket office. Outside of the station there is a big parking lot (free parking). It is connected to the city centre by the local city bus. Road access to the station is provided by two narrow paved roads, which still need improvement (mainly widening and proper signage).
