TEMPI, Greece, Feb 28, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Workers across Greece were set to strike on Wednesday to demand answers a year after the nation's deadliest train crash, which killed 57 people and injured dozens more. A memorial service for those lost was held on Sunday, and relatives plan to gather at the crash site on Wednesday. The disaster happened when a freight train and a passenger train with over 350 people aboard -- mostly students -- collided near a tunnel outside the central city of Larissa. He later apologised for the accident and said he would improve Greece's railway safety. If they had not "serially broken" safety regulations, the crash wouldn't have occurred, he alleged.
