Korinos railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Κορινού, romanized: Sidirodromikos stathmos Korinos) is a railway station in Korinos, Central Macedonia, Greece. Located in the centre of the village, it opened on 9 September 2007. It is served by the Thessaloniki Regional Railway (formerly the Suburban Railway).
History
The station opened on 9 September 2007 on a stretch of the former Korinos-Methoni-Aigini line, which terminated close to the station. In May 2020, due in part to both vandalism and poor maintenance, Georgios Stylos, Head of building infrastructure of OSE was called to meet Korinos's Mayor Costas Grammatikopoulos.[5]
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)[6] 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.[7] Rail safety has been identified as a key priority.[8] The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the Tempi accident of February 2023, in which 43 people died after a head-on collision.[9]
Facilities
The station is unstaffed. The platforms are connected by subways. However, the station is not equipped with lifts. The station is equipped with onsite parking. There is a Petrol station next to the station, with a small shop.
Services
As of 12 May 2025, Line T1[4] of the Thessaloniki Regional Railway calls at this station,[10] with eight trains per day in each direction to Larissa and Thessaloniki.[11]
