Agios Georgios railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Αγίου Γεωργίου, romanized: Sidirodromikos stathmos Agiou Georgiou) is a halt near Schimatari, in Boeotia, Greece. It is owned by OSE, but service are provided by TrainOSE, through the Athens Suburban Railway from Athens to Chalcis.[5]
History
The station opened on 6 April 2005 as an unstaffed intermediate station on the Athens to Chalcis line. That same year TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2008, all Athens Suburban Railway services were transferred from OSE to TrainOSE.
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 Oinoi–Chalcis railway) took over that responsibility.[1][6]
Facilities
The station is little more than a halt, with only a small car park; however, there are ramps and thus disabled access.
Services
Since 22 November 2025, the following weekday services call at this station:
- Athens Suburban Railway Line A3 between Athens and Chalcis, with up to one train every two hours, plus one extra train during the weekday afternoon peak.[7]
