“The driver trusted the stationmaster 1000%, although he shouldn’t have. This is a warning to the driver. The head of the station was an inexperienced worker who was poorly positioned at the Larisa station, a former instructor driver told SKAI. Nikolaos Tsuridis.

talking about her tragedy in Tempeexplained that “in the conversation between the station master and the driver, there guilty secret. The driver was friends with the stationmaster, and Unfortunately, both of them did not fulfill their official duties.“.

“Not to say that they had friendly relations, but one thing closeness. I want to say that train driver showed 1000% trust the stationmasterwhen it shouldn’t. This is a warning to the driver. The stationmaster was an inexperienced worker who it was badly posted at Larisa station. OUR Larisa station is a very difficult station in terms of traffic, because it is a station of departure, stop, passage of trains. It is also close to engine roomwhere the actuators move up and down. It has huge traffic. So, there must be someone not just experienced, but experiencedWith heavy equipment station master. Station masters, like train drivers, face enormous challenges every day. No day is like another, today’s events are different, tomorrow’s events are different, yesterday’s events are different. So, in these different tasks, your mind must take turbine speed. But that won’t happen because you are smart and ended up with 10 instead of 9. You should you are very experienced and know what is happening with the movement of trains.

As he said, during the conversation between the head of the station and the train driver, the first did not tell the second which line he would follow: “At the exit of Larisa there is two lines, one goes down from Thessaloniki and the other goes up to Thessaloniki. It was then that the head of the station made a fatal mistake. He didn’t tell the driver to leave the uplink or downlink. According to the regulations, the head of the station is obliged to tell the driver which line to follow.. An experienced driver is obliged to ask, and if he does not receive clear instructions, he should not leave.

“If we had a remote control system, the signals would be red”

“When the train left Larisathe train driver saw the keys are turned towards the cathodethere he had to get angry and make him tell him why you are sending me from the line of descent,” Mr. Tsouridis stressed, adding: “He understood the substitution – to go from one line to another, there is a whole process, you go through the entry keys and exit.”

When asked what was written in the protocol in these cases, he said: “This is the fault of the driver, who trusted the head of the station. He shouldn’t have been trusted.”

And he added: “Earlier at the central stations head of the road section and assistant, maybe two assistants“.

“Did the driver make a mistake, did the head of the station make a mistake, with two mistakes we have 50 dead? If we had it remote control systemjust entered the line of decline all signals both to Thessaloniki and from Thessaloniki to Larissa will automatically light up.. They will see red lights, they will say that something is going on,” he said and added: “Traffic lights don’t work“.

“From Larisa to Neios Poros, the traffic light does not work,” he stressed and added: “Otherwise, if the driver sees a red light, he will stop.”

Immediately afterwards, he mentioned that “from 2010 no remote“.

“The driver starts training, there is a complete analysis of how the railway works, after theoretical training, practice begins,” he noted and added that they were put on trains.

“This particular station chief should not be in Larisa, but at a smaller station,” he stressed.
