For the A bill aimed at modernizing the Greek railwaythe Deputy Minister of Transport spoke, Konstantinos Kyranakisunfolding the planning of the government while referring to the grid of the network, stating that the majority of them are taking place around camps.
“Our plan has two pillars: security systems and staff. They cannot work one without the other. Because telecommunications and ETCS people work. So it is important for the evaluation, education and sanctions that will lead to redundancies for the first time when one is deemed inappropriate, ”Mr Kiranakis said of the billspeaking in Alpha’s central newsletter.
“In the month and a half I am in the Ministry of Transport, all my actions and all our planning for the measures we want to take and implement directly, are always related and concerning their tragedy Temps“Mr. Kiranakis initially said and added:” My mind and my feelings are always for parents and relatives. This is and must be the guide of all of us to put order in an area that is deeply ill. This is what I said on my first trip, in the first wagon of the Athens-Thessaloniki route: that OSE is deeply ill. This is a truth that we must admit, understand the problems and solve them. ”
“I don’t agree that nothing has been done. Things have been done quietly and possibly not learned and today they gain visibility and come to the surface, there are things that need to be accelerated. A typical example is what happened on Saturday, we had the first successful Test mode of the automatic train brake systemwhich requires society correctly to see in practice how it works. Saturday when the train which we did the test exceeded the speed limit or violated an orange traffic light at a speed or when the driver attempted to violate the red traffic light, the train was immobilized, “the deputy minister said.

He then referred to the braking system, which “to operate is needed material and equipment on the rails, the so -called trash as well as on board system, the ETCS On Board. If you do not have the system functional and installed on the train, whatever you have on the rails that existed in previous years, it cannot perform. He cannot “speak” one system with the other to brake the train. The contract launched in 2024 on Christos Staikouras, which predicts that old non -preserved non -functional systems are “renovated” and so every train acquires ETCs on board and this must chat with it on the rails. It is important for people to know and I want to make it a picture of what I will say: There are systems on rails that have been installed since 2000 and because of the fragmentation of contracts and the constant tactics of the Greek state and the Greek State, which we are now going to change. ”
“Thefts, stoning and sabotage on the network around camps”
“Significant changes have been made. OSE has acquired a fleet of drones that oversee the kilometers around the camps. Because bad lies, I am not hiding behind the words, incidents of theft, stoning and other sabotage on the network are geographical. The majority of them are around camps. The drones record traffic on the network and can follow the offender by the time it needs to be given the necessary material to ELAS, “Mr. Kyranakis said. The drones “operate and deliver video material”. The Deputy Minister of Transport also referred to an incident that took place two weeks ago, “which I also attended. 15 minutes after finding criminals who stole cables on the railway, ELAS acted and arrests were made. We agreed with Mr. Chrysochoidis that the material would be delivered whole to ELAS and justice now has a tightened criminal code to lead these people to prison. The same is true for irresponsible drivers who do not see or do not see a bar at a level crossing that closes in front of them, violate it, prevent trains from circulating and even having accidents. This in the new Criminal Code and the new CO is punishable strictly, it is considered in Article 291 that brings up to five or 10 years in prison. ”
Concerning the case file that arrived in Parliament for possible responsibilities of Kostas Ah. Karamanlis and Christos Spirtz, Mr. Kyranakis said: “Without reading the case file, from the reports I read that it does not arise, simply with the given constitutional procedure provided, when there is a politician in a file, he is forwarded to Parliament. What I know is that the prime minister has pledged that we would not stand as a line -up to the investigation of the natural judge, criminal justice and ministers’ responsibilities. This was the case with Mr Triantopoulos, so the Prime Minister kept his promise and I think that is exactly what will happen now. ”
Asked when there will be absolutely safe trains in Greece, Mr Kyranakis replied: “Maximalist announcements on such a sensitive issue cannot exist. From 1869 until today, trains have a specific security doctrine. What’s that? That when the general drive regulation is adhered to trains is completely safe. In Tempi, I want people to understand, rules have been violated, a general regulation of movement was adhered to. So I tell you that from what I have found with my own eyes, we obviously have to install and operate more security systems constantly to enable people to have more tools to do their job. “
