The station is located in the city, close to Pampeloponnisiako Stadium, on Piraeus–Patras line and is severed by Proastiakos Patras Services.

In November 2022, TERNA-MYTILINEOS, the contractor of the project to complete the final phase of Athens Airport–Patras railway was charged with undertaking the electrification project in the previous section, from Kiato to Aegio. With the electric train, the distance on the Athens-Kiato-Rio axis will be covered in less than two hours with an intercity express.
