Police estimate 60,000 people joined protests across Greece called by labour unions and student groups
A further three railway employees are to face criminal charges in connection with the train crash last week, Greece’s worst ever, that left 57 dead and scores injured.
All three will stand trial for offences ranging from involuntary manslaughter to causing transport disruption and mass bodily harm – acts punishable with life in prison if they are found guilty. Similar charges were levelled on Sunday against the stationmaster who stands accused of making the fatal point switch that put the two trains on the same track.
