Greece’s worst rail disaster in 2023 was due to chronic safety gaps that still need to be addressed to prevent a repeat, Greek investigators said on Thursday.
On February 28, 2023, a passenger train coming from Athens and a freight train coming from Thessaloniki collided head-on near Larissa in the Tempi area, killing 57 people, most of them students.
