Patras railway station[1] (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Πατρών, Sidirodromikos Stathmos Patron) is a railway station in Patras in northern Peloponnese, Greece. The station is located in the centre of the city beside the north port. The station was built in 1954 and until 2011 it was serving as the main railway station for trains connecting Patras with Athens and Kalamata. Since the suspension of all the rail sevice in the Peloponnese[2][3] in 2011 (due to construction works for the new railway line Athens-Corinth-Patras) the station is used only by local suburban trains[4] connecting the city with the adjacent villages of Rion and Agios Vasileios. The station is also the starting point of OSE Bus Line Patras-Kiato, which connects Patras Railway Station with Diakopto as well as with Kiato railway station.

Station building

The station lies in central Patras between Othonos-Amalias Avenue and the north port. It is a small building, typical of the 1950s without any modern facilities. Beside the station there is a restaurant and a cafeteria. There is only one platform and two metre gauge rail tracks. After the completion of the new railway line[5] the station will move to another more spacious building but still there are no publicly available data regarding the position and the design of the new station.

Within a few meters distance from the station there is the Patras Railway Museum open air showroom[6] which hosts a very old locomotive of the Piraeus, Athens and Peloponnese Railways (SPAP) No. Zs 7.532 [7]
