It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP, located within the city.[5] In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network.[6] Timetables were cutback and routes closed, as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. In 2017 OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[7] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE.[8]
