Diakopto railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Διακοπτού, romanizedSidirodromikós Stathmós Diakoptoú) is located just north of Diakopto, Achaea, Greece. Originally opened on 10 March 1896, it was reopened on 22 June 2020 as part of the Hellenic Railways Organisation's €848-million project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4] The station is currently served by both the unique rack railway to Kalavryta and Hellenic Train local services between Kiato and Aigio.[5]
