Hellenic Train: The incident with the Suburban is “investigated” – The station master was removed for retraining
We almost mourned victims on the railway, when on October 9, a Suburban train entered a Metro line in Dukissis Placentias. The incident became known from a document of the Panhellenic Union of Traction Personnel (PEPE), and was confirmed on Thursday morning (17/10) by the managing director of OSE, Panagiotis Terezakis.
Hellenic Train issued a statement about the incident with the Suburban train that entered the metro line. As the company states, “it is investigating the causes of the incident, which occurred on Wednesday, October 9, in which a Suburban train violated the entry signs on the METRO line at Dukissis Placentias station.”
The Hellenic Train announcement
“Hellenic Train announces that it is investigating the causes of the incident, which occurred on Wednesday, October 9, in which a Suburban train violated the entry signs on the METRO line at Dukissis Placentias station. The investigation is being carried out in cooperation with the competent authorities, while at the same time the disciplinary procedure has been activated for the attribution of responsibilities. The staff involved in the incident have been suspended.
The company follows strict security protocols in all its processes and implements modern training and evaluation systems for its staff.
Hellenic Train remains committed to the continuous improvement of the safety of the rail network, taking the necessary actions where necessary.”
According to Mr Terezakis, who spoke to Real FM, “the wrong order was given by the station master”, who he said he has already ordered removed for retraining.
As he said, “probably at that time the Metro should have entered, but due to the delay, the Suburban went ahead without the remote controller changing the route. This happened 500 meters before the tunnel started.”
According to Mr. Terezakis, “the train driver violated two traffic lights, which showed him that he was entering a subway line, and he did not stop and is being checked for this.”
“The mistake was made by the station master as he made a marking that instead of the suburban train, sent the train to the subway. From the findings of the retraining we will see where and if it will continue.”
As for whether the remote control caught the mistake of the station master, Mr. Terezakis answered “the remote control showed the signals but it did not realize the mistake of the station master because he drew a correct route, i.e. he did not send the train on a line of opposite direction”.
