Location

Lykoporia railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Λυκοποριάς, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Lykoporia) is a Station[3] in Lykoporia, a small seaside town in Corinthia, Greece. It is located just south of Lykoporia, close to the Olimpia Odos motorway. It was opened on 22 June 2020 as part of the €848-million ErgOSE[3] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio rail line, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4][5] The station is served by Hellenic Train local services between Kiato and Aigio.[6] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located northeast of the current station, closer to the coast of the Corinthian Gulf

History

The Station opened 22 June 2020 by Minister of Transport, Kostas Karamanlis.[7] as part of the €848-million ErgOSE[3] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio railline[8] co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4][5] It was one of three new stations in (Xylokastro, Akrata, and Aegio) and six holts (Diminio, Lykoporia, Lygia, Platanos Beach, Diakopto, and Eliki) to come online when the section of track opened. It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP, which is located northeast of the current station, closer to the coast of the Corinthian Gulf.
