The station opened 1905, taking over responsibilities for most for Greece's rail infrastructure. However, by 1970 the regular passenger itineraries from
Piraeus and
Athens to Lamia and Stylida were suspended, and only the periodic summer excursion itineraries for the transport of bathers to the beach of Agia Marina and the commercial itineraries remained. In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2011 the passenger operation of the line is transformed into a suburban line with 12 pairs of routes, 7 between Leianokladi-Lamia-Stylida and the remaining 5 between Leianokladi-Lamia. This connecting bus connected the OSE agency in Lamia with the Leianokladi station. to assume responsibility for rail infrastructure, planning, modernisation projects, and rolling stock across
Greece. Previously, these functions were divided among several state-owned entities:
OSE, which managed infrastructure;
ERGOSÉ, responsible for modernisation projects; and
GAIAOSÉ, which owned stations, buildings, and rolling stock. OSE had overseen both infrastructure and operations until its vertical separation in 2005. Rail safety has been identified as a key priority. The merger follows the July approval of a Parliamentary Bill to restructure the national railway system, a direct response to the
Tempi accident of February 2023, in which 43 people died after a head-on collision. ==Facilities==
