History[]

The station opened 1905,^[4] along with the rest of the line. In 1920 the line became part of the Hellenic State Railways. In 1971, the Hellenic State Railways was reorganised into the OSE^[5] taking over responsibilities for most for Greece's rail infrastructure. However, by 1970 the regular passenger itineraries from Piraeus and Athens to Lamia and Stylida were suspended and only the periodic summer excursion itineraries for the transport of bathers to the beach of Agia Marina and the commercial itineraries remained.^[6] In 1991 the line Athens Leianokladi-Lamia-Stylida is reopened with passenger trains and freight services, and in 2011 the passenger operation of the line is transformed into a suburban line with 12 pairs of routes, 7 between Leianokladi-Lamia-Stylida and the remaining 5 between Leianokladi-Lamia the connecting bus that connected the OSE agency in Lamia with the Leianokladi station.^[7]
