Platanos railway station or Platanos Beach (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Πλάτανος, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Platanos) is a Station[4] in Platanos, a small village in Achaea, Greece. It is located just North of village, close to the motorway. It was opened on 22 June 2020 as part of the €848-million ErgOSE[4] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio rail line, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[5][6] The station is served by Line 5 of Proastiakos Athens between Athens and Aigio.[7] 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[citation needed] by Minister of Transport, Kostas Karamanlis.[8] as part of the €848-million ErgOSE[4] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio railline[9] co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[5][6] It is constructed on upgraded sections of the former Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP line. 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.[10] It should not be confused with the now-closed on the old Piraeus–Patras railway SPAP, which is located just west of the current station.

Facilities[]

The raised station is accessed via stairs or a ramp. It has two side platforms, with station buildings located below the platform level, with access to the platform level via stairs or lift. The Station buildings are equipped only with a waiting area. At platform level, there are sheltered seating and Dot-matrix display departure and arrival screens and timetable poster boards on both platforms. It is equipped with CCTV systems,[11] Fire Detection systems & Honeywell Security Systems.[12] There is no car park on-site, as Palea EO Korinthou Patron runs alongside eastbound platforms. Currently, there is no local bus stop connecting the station.

The station is served the following lines of the Athens Proastiakos[13] or suburban railway:

Line 5[14] Aigio - Athens[15] with 1 tph. (transfer to Regional, Express & InterCity services at Athens[16] and the Diakopto rack railway at Diakopto railway station)
