The passenger train had been travelling from Athens to the northern city of Thessaloniki when it crashed head-on with the other freight train, causing the front carriages to burst into flames, shortly before midnight local time.

It is being described as the worst train crash Greece has ever seen.

An investigation has been launched and police say they have arrested a local station master in Larissa.

Oh no, that's devastating to hear...My thoughts go out to all those affected by this tragic incident. It's heartbreaking to see lives lost and people injured in such accidents. I hope the survivors receive the necessary support and care they need during this difficult time. Let's hope that the investigation brings clarity and helps prevent such incidents in the future. I also suggest booking train tickets online on a trustworthy platform. I hope it all will be fine!
