Katerini Railway Station Greece
The main railway station of Katerini in central Macedonia, Greece is located in a residential area close to the city centre. It opened on 2 September 1916 and is served by local and regional trains connecting Athens with Kalambaka, Litochoro, and Larissa as well as Intercity services.
A recent accident showed how vulnerable the Greek railway system is to human errors and criminal activity. The inquiry into the accident concluded that a number of critical mistakes were made, and it was also clear that there were no safety systems in place that could have prevented or corrected these mistakes. The lack of the European Train Control System (ETCS) that is used in many countries was particularly serious. It would have stopped the two trains when they entered a collision course, but it had not been installed in Greece at that time.
Whether you are traveling on business or on vacation, taking the train is a convenient and cost-effective option. It is usually a little faster than driving and parking, and there are often more luggage allowances included in your ticket price.
