Investigation reveals that Greek railway tunnels have no proper safety passages, no water or ventilation
Findings have surfaced about the safety of Greek railway tunnels, according to a fire brigade investigation, local media reported on Tuesday.
The results of the investigation by the Fire Department showed that 15 out of 18 tunnels in Greece are unsuitable.
In the 15 unsuitable tunnels, there are no safety systems, it noted.
The safety exits that exist will not work in the event of a breakdown or accident that would ensure the safety of the passengers, and the fire brigade and firefighting vehicles will be unable to reach the site, while ventilation and smoke extraction systems are not available to become operational, the results also showed.
