Kalavryta railway station

Services on the Odontotos cog railway, connecting Diakopto and Kalavryta in the Peloponnese, have been temporarily suspended due to landslides along the track, operator Hellenic Train announced on Friday.

In the meantime, the connection has been replaced by a bus service.

An operation was launched on Monday to rescue approximately 90 passengers who were stranded on a train along the Diakopto-Kalavryta rack railway (known in Greek as the "Odontotos"), situated in the Peloponnese region. The train had come to a halt due to landslides near the Niamata area.
