Some other very critical incident with a educate, which might transform a tragedy, passed off on the top of the Duchess of Placentia with a Hellenic Educate educate that used to be ordered to go into the tunnel… of the Metro.
The tragic mistake used to be corrected once more through the educate motive force, as have been performed 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.
What is occurring at the railway community all through Greece, culminating within the nationwide tragedy of Tempe, is inflicting massive fear for shipping protection as one critical incident follows some other.
In step with the “Newspaper of the Editors”, on October 9 a Suburban educate used to be ordered to go into the flawed line on the Duchess of Placentia. The educate motive force learned the error and attempted to touch the stationmaster, however in useless. Then he made the life-saving determination – which isn’t foreseen through the law – to cut back pace and continue slowly in order that he passes the primary sensor and the far off regulate catches the mistake.
Certainly this used to be performed after which the driving force used to be pressured to opposite for roughly 300 meters to get out of the tunnel, during which if he had endured 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.
What does the report to RAS say?
For the incident, a report used to be drawn up through the Panhellenic Union of Traction Team of workers (PEPE) and addressed to the Railway Regulatory Authority (RAS) and the Nationwide Coincidence Investigation Group (EODASAAM), during which the access of the Suburban educate into the flawed line used to be described.
Along with the incident with the educate in Doukissis Placentias, the report additionally complains concerning the critical delays of the routes because of the delays imposed through the OSE because of the deficient state of the community.
“On Wednesday 9/10/2024 educate 4245 used to be pressured to opposite at the Athens Suburban line because it had gained an order from the Station Grasp (Teleoikisis S.Ok.A.) to go into the flawed line (in particular the one of the most Metro) within the space of the Duchess of Placentia” states PEPE in particular.
Educate 4245 had began from Kantza sure for Ano Liosia. On the top of the Duchess of Placentia, the Suburban trains don’t flip to go into the underground community (just like the Metro trains), however proceed directly alongside the process the Attica Street. The purpose the place the routes alternate between the Suburban trains and the Metro tracks is understood and everybody must watch out there in case a mistake has been made. The educate motive force noticed that the keys had been dealing with the flawed means and used to be being despatched in opposition to the Metro and attempted to touch the OSE regulators on the Acharnon Railway Middle (SKA).
The driving force’s life-saving initiative
He reportedly radioed the SKA two and 3 times with out receiving a solution. At that time he made up our minds to make a transfer that isn’t lined through the law. He drove too slowly and entered the flawed lane.
As quickly because the educate handed a sensor, the flawed direction used to be detected through the far off regulate at SKA and best then did the OSE controller reply and ask it to opposite. Scenes of absurdity ensued with the conductor apologizing for the error and the educate reversing 300 meters to transparent the road.
On the other hand, the OSE has now not introduced any penalty for the regulator who had now not organized the keys appropriately and didn’t resolution the educate motive force’s calls. Within the letter to RAS and EODASAAM, PEPE requests a direct investigation of the incident and requests that the discovering be despatched, denouncing the control of Hellenic Educate which “systematically refuses to keep up a correspondence its inside findings to our Affiliation”.
It additionally recollects some other incident that came about on 9/9/2024 in Livadia with a educate that began, whilst a feminine passenger used to be placing from the door and used to be in peril of being severely injured. For the Livadeia incident, PEPE maintains that the educate drivers had absolutely adopted the procedures, however n Hellenic Educate attempted to apportion the tasks through writing in a public commentary that “each the educate drivers and the cabin attendants didn’t conform to the prescribed procedures”.
