The company refers to the work performed from September 14, 2017 to February 28, 2019, at a cost of 1,149,000 euros.

“The aforementioned shortcomings and omissions on the part of OSE and its subsequent breach of its obligations to maintain the railway network have led to the need to solve the huge operational problems of the rolling stock used by Hellenic Train through works that could at least make it safe. and able to manage routes.
