Deputy Infrastructure and Transport Minister Vassilis Economou, responsible for transportation, rode on Sunday on the train for the last trial run of the Alexandroupolis-Ormenio railroad line, which opened on Monday.
During the train travel, Economou stopped at the bridge at Pythion to inspect its restructuring, to confirm the readiness of the infrastructure for the restart of the railway connection between Greece and Türkiye.
The minister said, "The Alexandroupolis-Orestiada line is a national line and will be further upgraded. In collaboration with officials and the administration of the Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE), we have laid out a comprehensive plan, having committed to opening and upgrading three stations in the region - Orestiada, Soufli, and Didimotycho. With the line's dynamic reopening, we are conveying a clear message: Evros will not stay behind, but is at the heart of our national policy."
