The first of a new fleet of hybrid trains manufactured in Italy has arrived in Thessaloniki, marking the first addition to Greece's rail rolling stock in two decades. The trains are capable of operating on both electrified and conventional tracks and are part of a broader initiative aimed at modernizing Greece's railway system. The transport ministry announced that this delivery is the beginning of a total of 25 hybrid trains that the country plans to receive.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis showcased the arrival of the train on social media, highlighting the government's commitment to restoring public trust in the railway system. He emphasized that these modern trains are crucial for enhancing service on key routes in Greece. The introduction of the Blues Intercity train signals a significant step forward for the Greek rail network, with the arrival of a second train expected later in July. The initiative is part of a broader collaboration between Greece and the Italian state railway company, Ferrovie dello Stato, aimed at renewing the country's railway fleet.
