Government says ‘chronic public sector ills’ to blame, as death toll rises to 57
The Greek government has said that rail projects in the country have been beset by “chronic public sector ills”, amid growing anger over how Tuesday night’s head-on crash between two trains could have happened.
In the first official public admission of the problems plaguing the railway network, officials also conceded that efforts by the centre-right administration to overhaul the system had failed.
