Katakolo railway station

The station open in 1882, when the Piraeus, Athens and Peloponnese Railways (S.P.A.P.) line was opened. In 1951 the S.P.A.P. absorbed the Line. In 1953 the S.P.A.P. itself was absorbed into the Northwestern Greece Railways (SDBE). In 1962 the station became part of the Hellenic State Railways (SEK). In 1975, the Hellenic State Railways was reorganised into the OSE [6] taking over responsibilities for most for Greece’s rail infrastructure.

In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cutback and routes closed, as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. 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 2017 the station was refurbished.

The station is only equipped with a large bus ‘like’ shelter on a single short disused side platform, with an Island platform straddling the two tracks, with no digital display screens or timetable poster boards. The station has no toilet facilities, as a result the station is currently little more than an unstaffed halt. However infrequent buses do call at the station, and there is a large car park next to the station.

As of 2020, the station is only served by three daily pairs of regional trains to Olympia.
