document from Railway Regulatory Authority To operating environment And Greek trainwherein insufficient training of station managersreports SKAI.

This document has been sent four days before the tragedy that took his life 57 people.

Particularly with education just a few months And practice for a few daysbut also with significant gaps and omissions in the educational and examination process, it seems station chiefs at their posts in the OSE.

Questions arise from the fact that the success rates of candidates reach 100%.

In an interview with SKAI, a member of the commission that examined Mr. 59-year-old head of the station Larisadescribes his certification process and indicates that the theory exam was administered correctly, but, as he says, action is different.

“They answered questions. We generally asked about the signaling and authority of the station master and announcements, and even what kind of request we give to the driver when it comes to changing traffic, changing lines, and everyone knew. The training was carried out correctly, that is, theoretical. But the practice is , no matter what you know in theory, the practice is very different and requires a lot of practice,” he said and added: “For example, when I took over the local government, I worked for a month and a half and decided to expand it so, so that I can understand it exactly. A theory is as easy to learn as a poem. But the act is different.”

“They already knew the problems…”

Former stationmaster of Volos, George Apostoleriscomplains to SKY that the station master candidate they knew the topics of the exam in advancesince the instructors were also examiners.

“We’ve been together for six months and I still bother you? Will I reject you? Who was rejected first? Should the stationmaster in question be considered admitted or rejected? Why is he there, who condemned him? he wonders, and adds: “It’s impossible to call it education. If I should also go to university to become a doctor. And let me be examined by a commission of three people who will sit down for two minutes and evaluate me after they give me questions, and I will say that this bone is white.

Document on incomplete education

In one of these documents sent on February 24, 2023, i.e. just four days before the tragedy in Tempi, two derailments were mentioned, (vs. Lianoklady and Tiforea, 10 and 21 October), which was established from the relevant reports of the investigation of incidents resulting from human factor (incorrect organization of the change of track by the station master and the refusal of a false indication of the circuit being busy).

In the documents, the Railway Regulator questions whether the factors that led OSE employees to this have been analyzed, what they may be and whether actions are being taken to eliminate them.
