Greece May Resume Train Services After Ensuring Safety Measures

After the suspension of train services following a collision incident in Greece, Greek Transport Minister Giogos Gerabetridis indicated on Wednesday that the country might resume passenger train operations by the end of March, once "full" safety measures are in place. In a press conference, the minister apologized for the deadliest incident in Greece's train accident history, stating, "No train will operate again unless we ensure the highest possible level of safety measures." Rail employees have been on a strike that renews every 24 hours due to the incident since Thursday, halting the network, and pointing fingers at years of neglect, lack of investment, and insufficient workforce, which have affected the railway infrastructure and disrupted safety systems.
