Greek train crash that killed 57 caused by human error and outdated infrastructure, says new report

A LONG-AWAITED report on the investigation into Greece’s deadliest train crash was released today, blaming human error, outdated infrastructure and major systemic failures for the head-on collision that killed 57 people two years ago.

The 178-page report was issued on the eve of a general strike and mass protests planned for the second anniversary of the February 28 2023 crash, fuelled by public anger over the slow pace of a separate judicial inquiry.

The independent investigative committee found that a routing mistake by a station master sent a passenger train onto the same track as an oncoming freight train.
