Hellenic Train is taking a decisive step towards a modern Greek railway, with a €308 million investment and the introduction of 23 new Coradia Stream electric trains. Cutting-edge technology, low-noise operation, low-floor access and smart comfort features create a travel experience that meets today’s expectations. With high safety standards and proven reliability, the new trains bring real change: a journey you can trust, every day, on every route.
A new level for rail travel in Greece.
The new electric trains raise the bar. For good.
With the arrival of 23 new Coradia Stream trains from Alstom, Hellenic Train is implementing the largest fleet renewal ever carried out in the country and setting new standards for modern rail travel. Through a €308 million investment, we are bringing to Greece technology that has already been tested on major European networks: from low-noise operation and reduced energy consumption to advanced safety systems that work discreetly but effectively.
The new trains are designed around the passengers. Low-floor access without steps, spacious interiors, dedicated areas for bicycles and large luggage, adaptive LED lighting and high-performance sound insulation come together to create a completely new travel experience.
With reliability proven in 12 countries and state-of-the-art European safety systems such as ETCS and TCMS, the Coradia Stream trains do more than simply strengthen the network. They strengthen trust in rail travel, with stability and consistency on every journey.
Our vision for the future.
