Location

Agioi Theodoroi railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αγίων Θεοδώρων, romanizedSidirodromikós Stathmós Agíon Theodóron) is a train station in Agioi Theodoroi, Corinthia, Greece. It was opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth.[5] The station is served by the Athens Suburban Railway between Piraeus and Kiato.[6]

History

The station opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth.[5] In 2008, all Athens Suburban Railway services were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE. 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]

Currently (2025) work is going ahead on a branch line connecting Loutraki, with new stations at Michanikou and Isthmos. The project is converting the existing 6.4 km (4.0 mi) Isthmos-Loutraki single-metric line to a standard electric line, to connect to the SKA-KIATO High Speed Railway Line. The connection between high speed railway line and Isthmos Station will be signal track. [9]

The station is owned by GAIAOSE, which since 3 October 2001 owns most railway stations in Greece: the company was also in charge of rolling stock from December 2014 until October 2025, when Greek Railways (the owner of the Airport–Patras railway) took over that responsibility.[1][10]
