He characterizes it as completely inaccurate operating environment what is mentioned about the presence of a full-fledged remote control in 2019, regarding publications related to the functionality of the remote control Larisa Station.

The OSE report notes that in July 2015, after a fire in the Litochoro area, Larisa’s remote control degraded significantly and practically ceased to function as a full-fledged remote control. “The only possibility that the remote control system supported was tracking the route from the entrance to Larissa to the entrance to Nei Poros. There was no possibility of remote control of laying routes between stations, only the organization of individual track transfers, ”the Organization notes.

He also notes that “after the July 2019 fire in the Zakharis Larisa area, cables and equipment were destroyed, and the remote control of Larisa was completely out of order and abolished.”

In conclusion, he states that in the context of the “modernization, which was recently activated in November 2022, the signaling on the Paleofarsalos – Larisa section was functioning and is functioning, which, through the local control panel at Larisa station, has the ability to draw a route to Larisa station in the direction of Neos Poros ( without traffic lights) and with the possibility of trains running at a distance of about 5 km after and 3 km to Larisa station.

“In July 2015, after a fire in the Litochoro area, Larisa’s control panel degraded significantly and practically ceased to function as a full-fledged remote control. The only possibility that the remote control system supported was tracking the route from the entrance to Larissa to the entrance to Nei Poros. There was no way to remotely control the routing between stations, other than arranging for individual lane changes.

After a fire in July 2019 in the Zachary Larisa area, cables and equipment were destroyed, and Larisa’s remote control was completely disabled and abolished.

As part of the modernization recently activated in November 2022, the signaling system on the Paleofarsalos – Larisa section was and is still working, which, through the local control panel at the Larisa station, has the ability to lay a route to the Larisa station in the direction of Neos Poros (without light signs) and with the ability to follow trains at a distance of about 5 km after and 3 km to the station Larisa.
