Passengers Stranded on Diakopto-Kalavryta Railway Due to Malfunction

Over 100 passengers, including children and elderly individuals, were stranded on the Diakopto-Kalavryta railway on Sunday due to a mechanical failure.

According to reports, the train stopped abruptly, causing concern among the passengers. A second train sent to pick up the passengers also experienced a malfunction.

The EMAK (Emergency Response Unit) from Patras arrived at the scene and evacuated the passengers, who were then transported to Kalavryta by bus. The entire process lasted over four hours.
