Gute Nachrichten!


Eine Frage in diesem Zusammenhang: den Nachtzug von Thessaloniki nach Istanbul, mit dem ich vor ein paar Jahren noch gefahren noch, gibt's nimmer, oder? Weiß jemand wie's um internationale Züge Griechenland-Türkei steht?

Und noch eine Griechenland-Frage: weiß jemand, ob das Odontotos in Diakofto noch fährt, oder ist das inzwischen auch wegrationalisiert worden?

Der Filia-Dostluk wurde wie auch die Verbindungen nach Sofia und Belgrad Anfang 2010 eingestellt. Angeblich hat die TCDD vorigen Sommer angeboten, wieder nach Griechenland zu fahren, das wollte die OSE aber anscheinend nicht. Aber nachdem der Verkehr mit den anderen Nachbarländern jetzt wohl endlich wieder aufgenommen wird, tut sich ja vielleicht auch was in Richtung Türkei...wobei man dort erst einmal wieder anständig nach Istanbul rein fahren können sollte.

Diakofto - Kalavryta fahren laut TRAINOSE drei Zugpaare.

Ich bin da (streckengeografisch) nicht so bewandert, wird das auch ein Einsatzgebiet für die "Hellas-Sprinter" (OSE Reihe 120)?

Letztes Update erfolgte allerdings schon im Jahre 2011!

Ein ganz kleiner Lichtblick Griechenland ist wieder auf Schiene erreichbar. Mal schauen was wirklich rauskommt.

Greece restores international passenger services

MORE than three years after Greece was severed from the European passenger rail network, Greek national train operator Trainose restored international services from Thessaloniki to Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Serbia on May 10.

One daytime train per day now links Thessaloniki with Sofia with a journey time of 6h 50min for the northbound trip. The Hellas Express service from Thessaloniki to Skopje and Belgrade runs overnight with couchette and sleeping accommodation, completing the 730km trip in 12h 41min.

Trainose suspended all cross-border services on February 11 2011 during Greece's crippling economic crisis.
