The camera captures the fatal intercity 62 and the Volos commuter train moving in the same current, which proves that the 59-year-old station master never turned the key in the right position
A video document coming to the public from a closed-circuit camera shows the fatal intercity 62 and the Volos suburban train moving in the same current, which proves that the 59-year-old station master never turned the key in the right position.
Specifically, a camera on Volos Street in Larissa records both the suburban train, the one in which the first mistake was made by the station master, but also the fatal intercity which passes through the same spot, one hour later. It is recalled that the 59-year-old station master had also sent the suburban train in the wrong direction, but the train driver realized the mistake in time and corrected it by continuing in the right direction.
As can be seen in the video document at 22:09 the Volos suburban train is heading towards the Larissa station. The switch at Karagatsi Street turns …. and the train heads to platform 3. However, the switch never turns again, causing intercity 62 to enter the same track as the previous train, but in the opposite direction.
A few minutes after 10 the suburban train passes through the Nea Smyrni area of ​​Larissa. From exactly the same point, shortly after 11, the intercity passes by the same rail and in the opposite direction. Only 17 minutes later the fatal intercity encounter with the commercial train resulted in 57 people tragically dying.
