The station was opened on 22 April 1884 by the

OSE to run through services to Volos from Athens and Thessaloniki. In 1970 OSE
became the legal successor to the SEK, taking over responsibilities for most of Greece's rail infrastructure.

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.[5] In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface.

In 2009, with the

TrainOSE, currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane.[6]
Infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE.

In May 2022, INTRAKAT was given the go-ahead for the €82.890.000 electrification and signalling upgrades of the Larissa–Volos line, due for completion in 2025.[7] In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE[8]
