Frecciargento ETR 485 - 31 in Greece

With TrainOSE now being a member of the FSI group, high-speed emu ETR 485-031 travelled from Italy to Greece to perform a number of test runs, followed by its official presentation at the beginning of the 83rd Thessaloniki International Fair, including a special service between Thessaloniki and Katerini, during which the maximum speed of 213 km/h was achieved. Its arrival, test runs and presentation special train can be seen in this video. As the Exhibition ends, the emu will return to Italy. However, according to Mr. Tsalidis, the C.E.O. of TrainOSE, within a few years, similar multiple units will take over high speed services throughout the Athens – Thessaloniki mainline.
