Lygia railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Λυγιάς, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Lygia) is a small Railway station[3] in Lygia, Corinthia, a small seaside town in Corinthia, Greece. It is located just south of the settlement, close to the Olympia Odos motorway. It was opened on 22 June 2020 as part of the €848-million ERGOSE[3] project extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Aigio rail line, co-financed by the European Union's Cohesion Fund 2000–2006.[4][5] The station is served by Hellenic Train local services between Kiato and Aigio.[6] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located northeast of the current station, closer to the coast of the Corinthian Gulf
