What had took place

The very severe incident that might turn into a tragedy came about on the top of the Duchess of Placentia with a Hellenic Educate that was once ordered to go into the tunnel… of the Metro.

The tragic mistake was once corrected once more via the educate motive force, as have been achieved a month in the past within the corresponding one in Agioi Anargyros the place two trains have been set to transport on a unmarried line.

Because it was identified, on October ninth a educate of the Suburban won an order at Dukissis Placentias to go into the fallacious line. The motive force discovered the error and attempted to touch the station grasp, however in useless. Then he made the life-saving determination – which isn’t foreseen via the law – to scale back velocity and continue slowly in order that he passes the primary sensor and the far off regulate catches the mistake.

Certainly this was once achieved after which the motive force was once compelled to opposite for roughly 300 meters to get out of the tunnel, during which if he had persevered to any extent further he would were wedged. It is because the Suburban trains have a bigger displacement (“gauge”), i.e. they’re upper and aren’t allowed to go into the underground Metro community.
