ERT provides new evidence of the stationmaster’s apology to investigator Larisa regarding the deadly train collision at Tempi, according to which the stationmaster focused on what happened at the station from 22:00 to 00:30.

The station chief is reported to have argued that the workload is particularly high during this time and he should not be left alone – at least until 11 p.m., when the day shift theoretically ends.

The 59-year-old man, who admitted to the offense, reportedly claimed that the daytime conductor left the station at 10:25 pm rather than 11:00 pm. In addition, he argued that according to the round-trip protocol, there should be no backlog before the transfer, that is, that “noon should not leave until the backlog is eliminated.”

The fateful passenger train from Athens bound for Thessaloniki arrived at Larissa station at 23:05 instead of 22:10. The investigator asked the head of the station about the frequency of routes on the evening shift, to which the investigator replied that there were 13 routes in total. Nine of them end between 22:09 and 00:30.

Removable document

Referring to the shift document, he indicated that it had an explicit one-hour shift overlap, from 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm, but he also showed a handwritten change from morning to afternoon shift.

Another point arising from the testimony of the head of the station and disclosed yesterday by “K.” shift sheet is that for five days, from February 24 to 28, he worked exclusively in the evening shift, which he had never done before.

Given that the stationmaster moved to a specific station office only 5 days ago, as he previously was on duty at New Resources, 5 nights in a row at one of the most central stations in the country, with especially high traffic during the three days of Clean Monday, create even more questions.

The night shift, as can be seen from the same document, starts at 22.00 and ends at 7.00, which means that the arrested head of the station from February 24 until the night of February 28, when the terrible accident occurred, worked at the station every night. where he worked for only five days.
