The prospect of gradual reactivation of the historic metric railway network of the Peloponnese, which is the longest similar network in Europe, was discussed by the president of Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) Giannos Grammatidis, with the Ambassador of Switzerland Stefan Estermann.

A group of approximately 1,000 people clashed with riot police outside the headquarters of Hellenic Train in Athens on Wednesday evening.

In efforts to boost tourism to the Peloponnese, the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE) announced this week that it had set aside 100 million euros for the restoration of the Patra – Pyrgos railway link.
