βεβαια μπροστα στο μετρο της νεας υορκης και του τοροντο, της αθηνας ειναι υπερσυγχρονο και πεντακαθαρο. Μην ισοπεδωνουμε τα παντα. Αν το συγκρινεις με το Τοροντο συγκεκριμενα, της Αθηνας περα απο πιο συγχρονο και πιο καθαρο εχει και περισσοτερες γραμμες και σταθμους.

@@AllThingsTrainsbyDrTesla Σωστά, επίσης μην ξεχνάμε ότι σε χώρες και πόλεις με πολύ μεγαλύτερους πληθυσμούς καθίσταται αντιληπτό ότι τα μεγέθη στα μετρό τους είναι εκτός συναγωνισμού ως προς τα μετρό εδώ! Δεν μπορούμε να συγκρίνουμε ανόμοια πράγματα!

This is the second direct line to the airport. The suburban train has been operating direct trains from the Piraeus port to the airport for years now and in less travel time too. Also the pedestrian bridge was closed due to the station's construction but is now open again, so there are 2 ways to cross now, over the road or under through the station.

@@AllThingsTrainsbyDrTesla Yes, the Proastiakos or so, i know. But direct Metroline i ment..

First of all, thank you for your comment! Now, i need to clarify a few things. The Swiss Railways have one of the highest if not the highest standards on trains in the world. A minor problem everywhere else, for the Swiss won't pass at all. Now regarding this specific train, as far is i know and I'm aware, the major issue they had was tilting mechanism that existed in the train when it was operating there. This mechanism has been completely removed before it was sent in Greece because it wasn't plan to be used at all here. Now about the ETCS, I don't know if it was installed or now when it was refurbished in Italy, but it doesn't really matter since the Greek network doesn't have working ETCS anyway. And currently the top operating speed for all trains is 160 km/h since ETCS is not operational. So it wouldn't even exceed the 160 km/h. The current trains are already operating at these speeds even though they are capable and certified for 200km/h. The ETR 470 is also certified for a top operating speed of 200 km/h, not 250. So in a nutshell, other than its modern looks (dispite older than the current trains) this doesn't offer anything new that the current trains are not already capable of doing. All trains though AND the network need to have operational ETCS in order to travel higher than 160 km/h and reach the maximum of 200 km/h. For even higher speed (that cannot be reached by any train today in Greece anyway) there would be needed even more changes to the network signaling itself and many parts of the track curves to be widened. Sorry for the long reply but i felt the need to clarify these common misconceptions that usually the media say about this specific rolling stock. :)

Well spotted my friend! Earlier the same day, while traveling to Athens the train hit a semi fallen burned tree, the impact was hard enough that a big chuck of it was stuck on the side of the train, even entering the driver cab and hitting one of the 2 chairs inside, thankfully not the conductor's seat, the other one which was empty at the moment. The train was temporarily patched up in Athens depot and went out on the journey to Thessaloniki on the same day, where it will be permanently repaired since there is the maintenance base for the ETR in Greece. It may already be fixed by now, I have no further information.

@@AllThingsTrainsbyDrTesla Ok! That’s fine, wish you the best! See you next video, greetings from Italy 😊👍🏻

@@maxveneroni Glad to see people from abroad enjoying my videos! Thank you! 😃

Έχω πάει σφενδαλη για βίντεο παλιότερα κάνα δυο φορές, αν ψάξεις στο κανάλι, θα τα βρεις! Είναι όμως στα άμεσα πλάνα μου να ξαναπάω ;) stay tuned!

@@AllThingsTrainsbyDrTesla ανυπομονώ γιατί λατρεύω τα βίντεό σου!!!

Τα γκραφιτι δυστυχως ειναι μια συγχρονη μαστιγα που δεν βλεπω να φευγει συντομα. Αλλα ακομα χειροτερο απο τα ιδια τα γκραφιτι ειναι η αδιαφορια των υπευθηνων για τον καθαρισμο σταθμων και συρμων απο αυτα...

These are the ETR 470 (pendolino in Italian) that traveled between Rome and Florence. Then slowly they are sold for the new high-speed trains. In Italy there are few left. They were sold in Greece and other European nations. The beauty of these trains that commuter in curves

Special day requires special horn(y) show!!!

That is very much true!! And we are grateful for that!!

Δυστυχως ειναι παντου τα γκραφιτυ... οχι μονο στα τραινα αλλα και στα κτηρια, ειδικα στον Αγιο Στεφανο η κατασταση ειναι τραγικη, και κανεις δεν ενδιαφερεται να τον καθαρισει...

In my opinion yes. The volume of people going from line 1 to the port is still gonna be big and it wouldn't be a good idea to mix so many people on the underpass through the metro station. It would be a bit chaotic to have so many people with suitcases running down to the metro and then up again to make it to the ferry in time while at the same time many morning commuters would use the station to go to work. I think it's better to have them both so that congestion won't be an issue
