Aiginio railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός σταθμός Αιγίνιο, romanized: Sidirodromikos stathmos Aiginio) is a railway station in Korinos, Central Macedonia, Greece. Located in a residential area 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) east of the center of the town, it opened in 2000. It is served by regional trains between Thessaloniki, Kalambaka, Palaiofarsalos and by the Suburban services for Thessaloniki, Litochoro and Larissa.

History[]

The station opened in 2000, replacing an older station of the same name further down the same line. By 2014 however, the station buildings where rundown and unused, however trains still called at the unstaffed halt.[3]

Facilities[]

When the station opened, it was equipped with a purpose-built booking hall[4] and four platforms, with shelters. The platforms were (and still are) connected by subways, however the station is not equipped with lifts. (As of 2020) The station is unstaffed, with buildings in a poor state of repair. The station is equipped with onsite parking.

Services[]

The station is on the main line of the Greek railway system that connects Athens in the south with Thessaloniki in the North (however Intercity services do not call at the station), however slower Fast Trains do call at the station. The city is also connected directly with Larissa and Thessaloniki via the Proastiakos[5] It is served by local stopping services to Thessaloniki, Kalambaka and Palaiofarsalos and by Proastiakos Thessaloniki to Larissa and Thessaloniki.[6] There are around 22 services[7] that call at the station daily.
