Zevgolatio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Ζευγολατιού, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Zevgolatioú) is a train station in Zevgolateio in the northern Peloponnese, Greece. It was opened on 8 July 2012 on the section of the Athens Airport–Patras railway between Corinth and Kiato,[6] and is located on the outskirts of the town near the A8 motorway between Athens and Patras. It is served by the Athens Suburban Railway between Piraeus and Kiato.[7] In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[8]
History
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)[9] 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.[10] Rail safety has been identified as a key priority.[11] 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.[12]
