Train services in the Lianokladi-Tithorea section of the Athens-Thessaloniki resumed on Monday.
They were temporarily suspended on Sunday night, after a truck collided with a train earlier in the day.
The lorry violated a guarded level crossing but no injuries were reported after the incident. The 300 passengers of the train were transferred with busses to the station of Tithorea and will continue their journey with a different train.
According to information, the engine of the train involved in the accident has derailed and crews are inspecting the tracks for possible bending caused by the severity of the crash. Rail company TRAINOSE, said passengers scheduled to depart tonight from Athens or Thessaloniki are likely to face many hours of delays until the tracks are restored by the crews.
The tracks at the section where the accident occurred are single-lined and pass through inaccessible mountain areas.
