Kypseli railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Κυψέλης, romanizedSidirodromikos Stathmos Kypseli) is a railway station in Kileler, Thessaly, Greece. Located 2.4km northeast of Kileler. Opened on 22 April 1884 by the Thessaly Railways (now part of OSE). Today TrainOSE operates fourteen daily local trains to Larissa and Volos.

History

The station was opened on 22 April 1884 by the Thessaly Railways (now part of OSE). The line was designed by the Italian Evaristo de Chirico, (father of Giorgio de Chirico) soon after the liberation of Central Greece from the Ottomans. Kypseli is a former name of Kileler.[2] However the railway station retains the old name. In 1960 the line from Larissa to Volos was converted to standard gauge and connected at Larissa with the mainline from Athens to Thessaloniki, allowing OSE to run through services to Volos from Athens and Thessaloniki.

Facilities

The station is little more than a halt, with only a small brick building near the raised tracks. There is no platform, and as such no real disabled access. The original Thessaly Railways building survives, but is no longer utilised.

Services

The station is served by fourteen local trains between Larissa and Volos.
