Greek railway operator TRAINOSE on Tuesday reported multiple problems on railway lines due to the heavy snow, including accidents involving falling trees and derailments, ANA reports.
TRAINOSE officials said that a large tree next to the railway line between Sfendali and Afidnes fell onto a passing Proastiakos train on the Athens-Halkida line on Monday, with its branches breaking through the windows and spreading broken glass through the carriage.
On Tuesday there was a minor derailment of a Proastiakos carriage in Acharnes, fortunately without causing any injuries, but the incident has created problems for the network, and services on the Athens-Thessaloniki line had to be interrupted for some hours.
There are also problems with the electricity supply to Proastiakos trains to Corinth and Halkida due to power cuts in various areas so that services must be canceled or modified.
