Oinofyta railway station (

TrainOSE, through the Athens Suburban Railway from Athens to Chalcis.[3]

History

The station was opened on 27 October 1983 when the line was upgraded. The line was converted to diesel sometime before 1990. Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed monopoly of OSE for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s. Many small stations of the network with little passenger traffic were closed down. In 2001 the infrastructure element of OSE was created, known as GAIAOSE; it would henceforth be responsible for the maintenance of stations, bridges and other elements of the network, as well as the leasing and the sale of railway assists.

TrainOSE, currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane[6] infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. That same year on 30 July Line 3 of the Athens Suburban Railway
began serving the station.

The ground-level station is located within a small cutting and is assessed via stairs or a ramp. It has 2 side platforms, with the main station buildings located on the eastbound platform; however, due to state funding issues[7] the booking office is closed; however, waiting shelters are available. There is no cafe or shop on-site. At platform level, there are sheltered seating but no Dot-matrix display departure or arrival screens; however, timetable poster boards on both platforms are available. There is no car park or bus connections at the station.
