The incident took place at the point where the Suburban line from Kiato converges with the descent line of the railway axis from Thessaloniki to Athens
The remote control system worked and there was timely information at the operational level to avoid an accident, the OSE emphasizes in its announcement regarding the incident that took place on December 23, 2023 at the Acharnon Railway Center (SKA).
According to OSE, the incident took place in the area of ​​the western SKA, at the point where the Suburban line from Kiato converges with the descent line of the railway axis from Thessaloniki to Athens. The trains, before coming to a standstill, were running on converging lines rather than head-on, following a red-signal violation.
OSE immediately informed the Railway Regulatory Authority (RAS) about the incident, while it has already initiated all the prescribed procedures. In the near future, it is expected that memoranda will be drawn up both from his side and from the side of Hellenic Train, as foreseen, which are to be submitted for the drawing up of the final conclusion by RAS and the National Organization for the Investigation of Air & Rail Accidents and Transport Safety , in order to avoid similar events in the future.
