Greece Mandates Safety Investments After Deadly Train Crash

Greece Mandates Safety Investments After Deadly Train Crash

Greece has told a train company called Hellenic Train to spend a lot of money on new, safer trains and fixing old ones.

This is because there was a very bad train crash in 2023 that killed many people.

The government says the company must do this by 2027, or they can cancel the deal.

The new trains will have special systems to help drivers talk to each other and control the brakes from far away.

There will also be money spent on fixing train stations and other important things.

A court case about the crash is expected to start soon, and the train company says they are ready to help with the investigation.
