History

The station opened on 8 March 1904., 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 [4] taking over responsibilities for most for Greece’s rail infrastructure. The station closed in 2016 for renovations and track upgrades. On 20 February 2017 TRAINOSE announced the start of the pilot Proastiakos route for Athens-Tithorea-Athens.[5] While this services has yet to be implemented, local stoping services now call at Tithorea. The station reopened on 15 December 2017[6] and was officially inaugurated on 8 January 2018, at the same time as the rest of the Tithorea-Lianokladi section of the line[7][8]

The station was renovated in the period 2016–2017, with the construction of a new underground passage, shelters on the platforms, elevators, as well as with the improvement work to the station buildings, and the installation of both a modern PA system and electronic timetable boards.
