THESSALONIKI to ATHENS with NEW HIGH-SPEED TRAIN | ETR-470 | GREECE | TrainOSE

Taking the new ETR-470 High-Speed train from Thessaloniki to Athens on Greece's national rail TrainOSE.
Though there was a slight delay, this train is definitely an improvement over the older train. Besides being newer and slightly faster (the infrastructure doesn't support the ETR-470's full speed potential yet) than the older train, it also only makes one stop, in Larisa.
This train is a little more expensive than the standard Greek national rail trains. A ticket between Thessaloniki and Athens on this train is €55 in 2nd class, €65 in first. The regular trains are usually about €12 less.

Looks like an interesting way to travel. I'll never get to Thessaloniki, but I have ridden on a train in Greece. To Kalavryta, back in 2018. THAT was an experience. I hope you're doing well. Enjoy Dublin.

Thanks Bob! Apparently they’re going to make this train even faster when the infrastructure can support a faster train. Will get even easier to travel up to Thessaloníki than it is now!

For sure! It's just too bad mainland Greece doesn't have more railways. There used to be one (not high-speed) from Thessaloniki to Alexandroupoli that goes through some amazing landscapes. Went on it years before starting my channel. Unfortunately there's no train service at all on that route now (not past Drama).

One correction the etr 470 is limited to 205 knh in Greece

@fsdkonjab Жыл бұрын

Yeah but there is no ETCS so limit is 160 km/h although lines allow for 200 km/h. Also the Kallidromos tunnel allows for speeds of 250 km/h but the ETR 470 cannot go speeds like that.

@stavrosnanos6257 Жыл бұрын

What is the speed of this train mate

@GlobalNiko Жыл бұрын

It's designed to go up to 250km/hr, but the infrastructure can't yet support that speed, so it goes up to about 170km/hr for now.

Is this connection still in operation? Connection search both by Hellenic Trains and Deutsche Bahn only finds connections with 4h 42min travel time and more stops than in Larissa.

@fsdkonjab Жыл бұрын

Yeah cause after the Tempi crash the connections have been rescheduled and take more time and the etr train operates I think the IC 54 but stops like normal intercity. The 3:55 connection doesn’t exist because more stops and more slowly cause of the accident

I had absolutely no idea this existed. Shaving 2 hours off the commute sounds really good. But man I wish our station was better. Athens is so much nicer, even Larissa

Train travel is very safe in Greece if you stay away from the trains. If you want to be a station master you can do a 20 minute on line course, or make a donation to a political party. If you're a woman you can perform sexual favours for a politician and you too can get a job in the civil service.
