Hellenic Train’s 80% safety leap draws global logistics interest by 2026
Hellenic Train, the Italian-owned rail operator, has made significant strides in improving railway safety and efficiency. The railway safety system, once at a mere 1% in 2019, has now reached an impressive 80% and is set to be fully operational by July 2026. This progress has sparked strong international interest in the Thriasio rail logistics center.
The Thriasio rail logistics center, slated for completion next year, is expected to be filled with warehouses by 2026. Hellenic Railway has received over 300 applications from executives across Europe, Asia, and the Arab world, eager to join the project. Meanwhile, staff training with simulators has commenced, running parallel to other enhancements. Despite the interest, there's no official word on the owner of Hellenic Train or the delivery date of the first new wagons.
Safety improvements are a key focus. All safety, automatic braking, and remote control systems on the Athens-Thessaloniki railway will be fully operational by next summer. These systems were put to the test recently in Thessaloniki, successfully preventing a train from switching to the wrong track. The government has also implemented a safety net, reserving the right to terminate the contract if Hellenic Train fails to meet its obligations due to cooperation or reliability issues.
Hellenic Train's commitment to safety and efficiency is evident in its progress towards completing the railway safety system by 2026. The Thriasio rail logistics center, once operational, promises to boost Greece's logistics sector. With international interest high and safety systems improving, the future of Hellenic Train appears promising, barring any potential contractual hurdles.
