This is just 2.5 years after the same thing happened in Greece, killing 57:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash
"The disaster occurred after years of multiple warnings from the train drivers' official union, while the current government was passing legislation that would make drivers' ability to strike or take industrial action for safety concerns unlawful."
"Three weeks before the crash, the rail workers' union had raised concerns over problems with the administration of the rail network which could put the passengers in danger."
No not exactly an "accident".[–] BonitaPersona 1 day ago

The system has been in a steep decline for 5 years at least.
I take the plane now, because between delays, stops in the middle of nowhere and strong vibrations where there was a smooth ride before, it became unbearable.

seems very negligent. trains shouldn't be colliding in this day and age - given modern signal systems etc

Say it with me: social murder is fully legal and looked up on by society.
Its. Just. Good. Business.
Yes, same government. 0 resignations, 0 political consequences, 0 apologies.
