Megara railway station (Greek: Σιδηροδρομικός Σταθμός Μεγάρων, romanized: Sidirodromikós Stathmós Megáron) is a station in the city of Megara, West Attica, Greece. It is located east of Megara, near the A8 motorway between Athens and Patras. It was opened on 27 September 2005 as part of the extension of the Athens Airport–Patras railway to Corinth[5] and its current form dates to 2007. It has two side platforms and a siding. The station is served by the Athens Suburban Railway between Piraeus and Kiato.[6] It should not be confused with the now-closed station on the old Piraeus–Patras railway, which is located within the city itself.
