Added 75 km of modern signalling and telegovernment
With its completion, approximately 75 km of modern signalling and telecommunications are added to the main railway line connecting Greece and Europe.
The new system replaces what had been installed in the late 1980s and had been phased out since 2005.
Upgrade reducing transport time
The upgrading of the line to the northern border strengthens the international character of the Greek rail network, providing the possibility of direct route of freight trains from Thriasio to Idomeni and to Europe, without requiring the compulsory bypass until the entrance of Thessaloniki Railway Station before continuing their international route.

The value of the project, however, exceeds this line. With the completion of the works in Thessaly by the end of the summer a modern railway corridor will be created that will allow direct freight from Thriasio to Europe.
Step by step we restore critical infrastructure and restore the Greek railway to the map of European transport, proving in practice that we keep our promises».
