Mismanagement of the rail network and lax oversight by the Greek government leads to a train disaster.Trains on Athens Thessaloniki route are on manual mode signalling. This leads to the collision of a freight train with a passenger train which was mistakenly put on the same rail line by a station master. Many of the 342 train passengers were students returning home. Automatic signalling has not been installed in Greece for Athens to Thessaloniki even though equipment was brought in for the 2004 Olympics, and concerns were raised with the government about the risks, say trade unionists in this report in The Times.
