A series of mistakes and omissions on the fateful night of February 28, as well as the inexperience and misunderstanding of the railway workers, led to the death of many people. accident in Tempe, loudly pops up in the official documents of the case, which will see the light of day. OUR 59-year-old stationmasterFebruary 1 was certified and recognized as competent Railway Regulatory Authority although he was absent from the railroad for 11 years. On the night of February 28, the inspector appointed him not as an apprentice, but as the sole head of the station for the night shift from 10 pm to 10 pm. until 7 am Two of his senior colleagues, who were on duty from 14:00 to 14:00. until 23:00 and in the meantime they could see how more experienced in misleading their colleagues, and thus prevent conflict if they had left their post earlier. And when the two trains finally collided, someone or someone intervened and changed the time recorded in the income and expense book with spaces …

“Each head of the station, after his shift, returns and accepts a new one, and this change-receipt is recorded in writing in the appropriate book. After the incident, the delivery-receipt time was corrected with a pass, ”the previously arrested head of the station said in an apology to the traffic police officers of Larisa.

Elsewhere his apology mr 59-year-old B.S. reported that the head of the station Paleofarsalov, George Zindrosasked the two most senior station chiefs of Larisa not to leave the service until the fateful, as it turned out later, passed through the area Intercity train 62. A hint, which, however, was not followed by the two most senior station masters, against whom a criminal case was opened yesterday on the basis of a criminal offense. “The actual departure time of P… is around 10:20 and X… is around 22:10,” the 59-year-old man said apologetically of his two colleagues. In at least two paragraphs of his pre-trial apology, the accused stationmaster admits to his lack of experience: “Because of the workload at that time, I did not have time to cut 1001 and forgot to transmit it by radiotelephone,” says Intercity 62 about the movement. Elsewhere he confesses that “I should have told him that he was moving in a double ascending line. But I didn’t tell him.”

The stationmaster testified that the disembarkation time had been “corrected” after the train collision at Tempi.

The inspector who oversees the station chiefs and is now one of the defendants, when asked by the investigator Larisa about the functioning of the alarm, said that “I had no information if there was a problem.” He also blames the drivers of the two trains who died in the collision, saying that “the driver was obliged and should have said what the stationmaster told him”, while he continued by commenting that “the driver definitely understood that he had come to line of descent and should have wondered why he did not receive form 1001 (code of the information telegram s.b.)”.

The 59-year-old stationmaster and his co-accused inspector were reported to the police and investigating authorities in the first minutes after the accident. It even turns out that the 59-year-old man did not realize his mistake until the people from the fire department called him: “The moment the fire department informed me about the train collision, I called both trains and neither of them. answered me. I asked the head of the New Resources station to call her too, but there was no answer, and then I realized what had happened. The inspector accordingly testified that he was informed of the incident by a telephone call from the traffic controller. “When at 1.15 I met S… (gives the name of the 59-year-old stationmaster), I asked him why he was left alone, and he replied that P…. he handed it to him and left.”

Concluding his apology, the arraigned stationmaster also cited shortcomings in the infrastructure of the railway network, saying that “I hope that the judicial investigation will show the true causes of the tragedy.”
