“To answer the collective mourning of the Tempi not in easy words but with a difficult task that will result in.”
Our current meeting focuses on one of the most critical government activities other than the drastic upgrading of the level of security and quality of tranter in the country, the prime minister stressed Kyriakos Mitsotakis Starting his presentation at today’s meeting Council of Ministers.
He pointed out that this is not a process that is starting now but a process that is accelerating. He emphasized that “during the day, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport signed the contracts to restore infrastructure in Thessaly that Daniel destroyed shortly after the completion of its contract 717 in September 2023. The timetable of the project is tight, it is 15 months and at the end of its implementation all the main railway axis will not only have complete teleikos and signaling but also additional automatic brake. “ He added that this system already brakes or even immobilizes the trains when violated by the rules of motion was successfully tested and by September next September it will be installed on every train that will travel to the central line of the country.
‘And at the same time add another important initiative that is no other From a new method of precise geo -geopenation of trains in real time. It is an additional safety valve, which will essentially exclude the conflict of two train, because while conventional GPS systems provide information with up to 15 meters, the Single Supervisory Center founded using this new technology will monitor the trains with a centimeter. This will identify any possible problem from the beginning both in a single and double line, “Mr Mitsotakis said.
He added that quickly this new platform we call railway.gov.gr will be able to be open to all citizens to determine the reliability at the time of the routes.
“We are talking about many combinatorial movements that are the main purpose of restoring the sense of confidence of passengers in Greek trains,” he said.
He pointed out that the interventions to be discussed today are bold with a much tighter framework, with greater flexibility in recruitment and workers’ recruitment but also a more effective administration that will be able to use executives from the international market.
“Our goal is for this organization to evolve into a new PPC, which I recall that we received in 2019 practically bankrupt in order to be a healthy and dynamic growing business, a protagonist in the energy market in Southeast Europe and not just in our homeland.”he stressed. He said that this new OSE would incorporate all the recommendations of the European Commission and the scientific findings on both the infrastructure and rail activities and the railway regulatory authority but also to EPASAAM, which is also further strengthened because they are also vital to the prevention of potentially potentially potential. That is why, as he said, the technological media is also strengthened by the video maintenance of critical railway structures. All intercoms will be recorded in a digital database, so the performance of employees in particular those who are responsible and managed human lives can be more easily evaluated. He stressed that the selection will be made with much stricter criteria, psychometric tests and practical training with simulators will be used as in air education.
He also said that the Ministry’s recommendation to restore the head of the train and at the same time a special group of inspectors to comply with the General Regulation of Movement, which would be the body that suggests any sanctions if the protocol is violated is correct.
“Our goal is to enhance a new culture of security and professionalism at all levels with motivation for good performance as well as strict processes that will prevent devastating omissions and tragic errors so that the state’s responsibility can be combined daily and with the conscience of workers themselves.” The Prime Minister pointed out and added:
“What I personally would like to emphasize is that a huge initiative of modernizing the Greek Railway is continuing and accelerating, utilizing both European assistance and our own lessons from the restraint of other troubled businesses. It is also a venture that will require consistency and obviously some time but it becomes absolutely necessary even if a lot will now have to change what has not changed for decades. “
She said that this design is obviously frame by the Hellenic Train, who will soon be called upon to proceed with her own investment, with the supply of a new traffic accident.
“To close by saying again that, as a state, we must answer the collective mourning of the Tempi, essentially fighting the causes that caused this tragedy. Not with easy words and blurry scenarios, but with a difficult task that will soon have a visible result. Treating the country’s railway as yet another field of match with a bad past, which we want to leave behind us and proving to the citizens that we have the power to turn the page from a yesterday that deeply hurt Greek society.
We will do it, as we have managed to do a lot of what some insisted that ‘they are not in Greece’.
In detail during his introductory position, the Prime Minister said:
Good morning and good week, ladies and gentlemen.
Today’s meeting focuses on one of the most critical government priorities, which is none other than the drastic upgrading of the level of safety and quality of trains in the country.
Obviously it is not a process that is starting now, but it is a process that is accelerating, and in the day, in fact, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is signed by contracts to restore infrastructure in Thessaly which Daniel destroyed shortly after the conclusion of Convention 717 in September 20.
The timetable of the project is “tight”, it is 15 months and at the end of its implementation all the basic national railway axis will not only have complete teleikos and signaling, but also additional automatic braking.
Already this system, the ETCS, which brakes or even immobilizes the trains when the rules of motion are violated, has been successfully tested and will have been placed in every September next September.
At the same time, another important initiative is being promoted, which is nothing more than a new method for accurate genuine geotenation of trains in real time. It is an additional safety valve, which will essentially exclude the conflict of two train.
This is because while conventional GPS systems provide information with up to 15 meters, the Single Supervisory Center, which is founded using this new technology, will monitor the trains with centimeters. This will detect from the beginning every possible problem, both in a single and double line.
And quickly also this new platform, which we call railway.gov.gr, can be open to all citizens, so as to ascertain the reliability at the time of service.
In other words, we are talking about many combination movements, which are the main purpose of restoring the sense of confidence of passengers in Greek trains.
That is why the interventions we will discuss today are bold, with a framework that is much tighter, with greater flexibility in recruitment and employee earnings, as well as a more effective administration that will be able to use executives from the international market.
To put it differently, our goal is for this organization to essentially evolve into a new PPC, which I recall that we received in 2019 practically bankrupt to be a healthy and dynamic business, growing, a protagonist in the energy market in Southeast Europe and not just our homeland.
This new OSE, therefore, will incorporate all the recommendations of the European Commission and scientific findings, both in infrastructure and rail activities and with the Railway Regulatory Authority, as well as to EPANAAM, which is also further strengthened by the prevention.
That is why, along with the technological means, the initiative of the Deputy Minister is reinforced by the Video of Critical Railway Structures. All intercoms will be recorded in a digital database and in this way, the performance of workers, in particular those who are in responsibility and managing human lives, will be more easily evaluated.
And there the choice should be made with much more rigorous criteria and with regular psychometric tests of staff, but also with practical training which will now include simulators, as in Air Education.
At the same time, it is a suggestion by the Ministry, correctly in our appreciation, to restore the boss of the train, who, on the basis of his own experience, will be able to identify risks, of course, preventively, and at the same time creates a special unit of inspectors to maintain the general regulation. This will also be the instrument which will recommend any penalties in the event of violating the protocol.
Our goal is to enhance a new security and professional culture at all levels, with incentives for good performance, as well as strict rules, strict processes, which will prevent devastating omissions and tragic errors so that the state’s responsibility can be combined daily with the conscience of them.
The responsible minister will shortly present the new arrangements.
What I personally would like to emphasize is that a huge initiative of modernizing the Greek railway is continuing and accelerating, utilizing both our European subscription and our own lessons from the restoration of other troubled businesses.
This is also a venture that will require consistency and obviously some time. But it is a venture that becomes absolutely necessary, even if a lot will now have to change, what has not changed for decades.
Let me point out that this design is obviously framed by the Hellenic Train, who will soon be called upon to proceed with her own investment, with the forefront of supplying a new rolling stock.
To close by saying again that, as a state, we must answer the collective mourning of the Tempi, essentially fighting the causes that caused this tragedy. Not in easy words and blurry scenarios, but with a difficult task that will soon have a visible result. Treating the country’s railway as yet another field of match with a bad past, which we want to leave behind us and proving to the citizens that we have the power to turn the page from a yesterday that deeply hurt Greek society.
We will do it, as we have managed to do a lot of what some insisted that “these are not done in Greece”.
