Important infrastructure projects in Greece’s railway network were handed over officially to the Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) by its subsidiary ErgOSE.
The projects concern the signaling on the Larissa-Plati segment (130km) of the Athens-Thessaloniki line, and the remote train control system on the Domokos-Larissa segment (200km) on the same line.
The Larissa Railway Traffic Control System, which is controlling the Domokos-Plati segment using state-of-the-art equipment, was also handed over.
The last remaining signaling system – on the Tithorea-Inoi segment – will be ready by the end of September. Following that segment, the entire Athens-Thessaloniki line will be managed remotely.
“The railway is being updated aiming at the safety, respect and better service of the passenger public,” according to the OSE announcement.
