According to local media sources quoted by Skai on Tuesday, a driver operating the Lamia route in the early hours of Monday managed to bring the train to a halt after a herd of cattle strayed onto the tracks. A similar incident had occurred on Sunday and in mid-December, with the drivers on both occasions managing to stop without causing any injuries to their passengers even though their trains came off the tracks.
