The third anniversary of the deadliest railway crash in Greek history is in a few days so I figured I'd make this thread.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash30 years ago, dozens of trains daily serviced many greek cities, today, only one line is operational, linking the two biggest cities with just two trains a day. This is a combination of Greece having a very car-centric culture, the population concentrating in these two cities to the point where the countryside is all but abandoned, and powerful inter-city bus companies lobbying against trains.Infrastructure is severely outdated, since funds for upgrades are embezzled between officials and the private company owning the railway since the 2017 so even if there was demand, the system just couldn't take it and a lot of the disused lines would have to be essentially rebuilt. Do you think there's any way rail in Greece can be salvaged?
why run trains when the government has already built roads everywhere?
