“His route was planned and fully controlled via remote control system”
Video with the course of train 2591 (Thessaloniki – Larissa), of November 5, published by the Deputy Minister of Transport, Konstantinos Kyranakis in a post on social media stressing “here is the proof that the train never entered the opposite line. Its path was programmed by a remote control system.”
And the post of the Deputy Minister of Transport continues “When a route is drawn by remote control, the traffic lights (traffic lights) are automatically activated and no other train can enter on the same line.
In Sindo we have 4 lines, 2 ascending and 2 descending and as can be seen in the video, the planned reversal was made to allow passengers to disembark at the suburban station platform.
The total distance between the two “keys” of the station is approximately 800 meters.
The reason for the change of gauge was not properly explained to all the passengers of the train.
I completely understand the disbelief, but it is important that now with new digital systems, both control and incident investigation prove in practice that the level of railway safety is being upgraded.”
Here is the proof that the train never entered the opposite track. Its course was programmed with a remote control system.
When a route is drawn by remote control, the light signals (traffic lights) are automatically activated and no other train can enter the same line.
