Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 1 Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece 7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 Project overview This evaluation presents the results of the ex post cost-benefit analysis for the construction of a new double-track standard-gauge railway between Thriasio and Kiato in Greece. The line has replaced a former single track metric line passing through a number of urban areas, including Megara and Korinthos. The improvements (funded by 4 applications for cohesion funding) form part of longer term proposals to upgrade the Piraeus – Athens – Patra line. Three of the sub-projects related to the section of track running from Thriasio to Korinthos. An additional funding application was made for the section of track between Korinthos and Kiato. Details of each funding application are shown below in Table 1. Table 1. Details of Funding Applications Total C.F Date of Project Ref.

Technical information supporting all applications is provided in a feasibility study (TRADEMCO on behalf of ERGOSE) dated 20th November 2000. This study provides a combined analysis of the forecast costs and benefits for improvements along the entire Thriasio-Patras railway, including a section not yet opened Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece 2 Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS | March 2011 between Kiato and Patras. However, it does not include a sequential economic analysis for each section of the route. As such this ex post evaluation also considers the cumulative impacts of the four projects and attempts to qualify the differences caused by a shorter route being constructed compared to forecast. Location The 220km-long rail line linking Athens to Patra forms part of the European TEN-T network, which runs parallel to the Priority Motorway Axis 7 (Igoumenitsa/Patras-Athens–Sofia-Budapest). Athens is situated on Rail Priority Axis 22 (Athens-Sofia-Budapest-Vienna-Prague-Nuremburg/Dresden). Patras is on rail priority axis 29 (Ionian/Adriatic international corridor). An overview of the project is shown below in Figure 1. Figure 1. Project Location and Overview Source: Openstreetmap.org Description The new fully grade-separated 112km1 double-track railway replacement line follows a more direct alignment, bypassing a number of urban areas between 1 91km Thriasio-Korinthos + 21km Korinthos-Kiato Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 3 Thraisio and Korinthos. The line is no longer disrupted by the presence of a large number of level crossings that characterised the old line, which has now been discontinued. The new alignment, following the main highway, has resulted in new stations being less centrally located than their predecessors. Figure 2 below shows the old and new track alignments passing through Megara, and highlights some of the above features. Figure 3 gives a visual comparison of the old and new tracks. Figure 2. Old and New Rail Alignment through Megara Source: Openstreetmap.org Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece 4 Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS | March 2011 Figure 3. Old Metric Line (left) and New Standard Gauge double line (right) Source: Site Photographs The first three sub sections relate to the Thriasio-Korinthos section which opened in September 2005. In addition to the new station in Korinthos, four new stations became operational at this time, namely; Nea Peramor, Megara, Kinetta and Agioi Theodori. Three additional new stations were incorporated from July 2006 being; Ano Liosia, Aspropyrgos and Magoula. The line terminated in Athens until June 2007 when it was extended to Piraeus including the three intermediate stops at Lefka, Rentis and Rouf. The fourth sub-project relates to the section between Korinthos-Kiato, this became operational in July 2007. The new line, including more than 5km of tunnels, is a modern double-track standard gauge railway, and is compatible with the wider rail network in northern and central Greece. The top speed on the improved line is 160km/h. The old line consisted of outdated infrastructure with the general line speed of 90km/h falling to 25km/h in places. The initial assessment considered that the project would a vital intervention to prevent the decline of the railway, and to allow the line to be compatible with the remainder of the standard gauge rail network in central and northern Greece. 7.1.2 Context Socio-economic context Table 2 presents summary data showing Greece‟s economic position compared to the EU as a whole over the period 2000-2009. The GDP per capita of Greece is presently 88% of the EU average. Growth in GDP has been particularly strong over the previous decade growing by 37% in real terms compared to 16% for the EU as a whole between 2000 and 2010. Despite this substantial growth, it is worth considering this against a backdrop of more recent trends where year-on year-growth in GDP has declined from a peak of 4.5% in 2006 to -2.3% in 2009 and -4.6% in 2010 (Business Monitor International, Q3 2010). This economic Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 5 decline is important in the process of ex post evaluation as it will result in lower than expected travel demand when compared to ex ante forecasts. The overall mode share of rail in Greece is generally low. Moreover, in recent years the mode share of rail and bus passenger travel in Greece has fallen considerably, against a background trend of increasing passenger travel as a whole and of increasing car ownership. The project appraisal noted that the poor state of the rail network in Greece was one of the main problems with the nation‟s transport sector. In particular, the different gauge in the Peloponnese compared to the rest of Greece necessitated interchanges. Large sections of the track had low-capacity lines and safety issues. In addition a large part of the network did not have modern electrical signalling, and there was a requirement for a large number of staff increasing operating costs. It was noted that the Hellenic Railways Organisation‟s (OSEs) total revenue only accounted for 51% of the total operating costs, and consequently the rail network was operating at a loss. Over the past decade there has been significant investment in the modernisation of both the rail and highway networks within Greece. However, recent data shows that the overall financial position of the railway has not improved. In 2008, OSE reported losses of €937m on revenues of €174m. During the same period the subsidiary operating trains on the network reported a turnover of €108m against costs of €312m2. From 2000 to 2009 the companies staffing costs increased by 50 percent even though personnel decreased by 30 percent. With regards to the financial status of the railway, OSE‟s 2009 annual report notes that a reorganisation of the Greek railways is proposed for 2010. This will attempt to address the profitability of the network through: a rationalisation of personnel necessary for the operation of the OSE network; a review of the OSE network to minimise the loss from parts of the network with low demand; and, managing the real objectives of investments both in terms of feasibility and in terms of economic profitability. 2 Source: Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A, Annual Financial Statements 2009 Appendix 7 – Railway Thriassio – Kiato in Greece March 2011 | Frontier Economics, Atkins, ITS 7 Table 2.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

This is not to say that I am suddenly a believer in the inherent agency of things, rather that the book before you is special to me because it represents a crucial phase of my life. Many people have contrib- uted to making these years exciting and challenging. After all – as I continu- ously emphasize over the next 350 pages – archaeological knowledge pro- duction is a collective affair. My first heartfelt thanks go to my supervisor Anders Andrén whose profound knowledge of cultural history and excellent creative ability to connect the dots has guided me through this process. Thank you, Anders, for letting me explore and for showing me the path when I got lost. My next thanks go to my second supervisor Arto Penttinen who encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D. and who has graciously shared his knowledge and experiences from the winding roads of classical archaeology. Thank you, Arto, for believing in me and for critically reviewing my work.

  • MYTILINEOS Delivered the New Double Railway Line of the "Kiato - Rododafni" Section
    Press Release MYTILINEOS delivered the New Double Railway Line of the "Kiato - Rododafni" section Athens, Greece - 15 July 2020 –The grand opening of the New Double Railway of the "Kiato - Rododafni" section of ERGOSE took place on July 14th, in the presence of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport; a project that MYTILINEOS completed successfully and on schedule. The project is part of the modernization works of the railway axis "Athens - Corinth - Patras", which aims to improve Greek rail transport and the competitiveness of the railway in terms of other means of transport while supporting the economic development of the Peloponnese and the National Economy in general. It is connected to the railway line "Piraeus - Thessaloniki - Borders" and through this line to the European railway network. The contract between ERGOSE SA and MYTILINEOS was signed on September 11, 2014. The project is approximately 71 km long and its objective consisted of the completion of the works between the Kiato Railway Station and the Rododafni Aigio Railway Station. MYTILINEOS undertook the construction of the railway infrastructure, the restoration of the side and vertical road network, the implementation of all track works, the construction of the electromechanical installations inside the six tunnels and their Service Buildings, and the installation of a new modern telecomanding signaling system. With the operation of the new line, travel time is reduced while the operation conditions of the railway and the reliability of the rail routes are improved. At the same time, it seeks to divert a significant proportion of road traffic to railways, with significant environmental benefits.

  • Changes in the Coastal Morphology of Vrachati, Greece
    CHANGES IN THE COASTAL MORPHOLOGY OF VRACHATI, GREECE by C.I. Moutzouris* A.J. Rogan**, M. ASCE ABSTRACT The coastal morphology of Vrachati, which lays on the south- eastern coast of the Corinthiakos Gulf, has considerably changed since the construction of two successive coastal structures. The present paper describes these changes and attempts to estimate the rate of longshore drifting sediment load. The description of the changes and the estimation of the rate are based on observations of aerial photographs of the area and on extensive bottom sediment sampling. 1. INTRODUCTION The Corinthiakos Gulf lays between Peloponnesos and the main- land of Greece (see Fig. 1). According to Piper et al., 1980, it is a major late Cenozoic graben with maximum depth of 860m in its eastern part. It communicates with the Pa- traikos Gulf through the Rion Straits and with the Saronikos Gulf through the Canal of Corinthos. Beaches are coarsest and steepest where exposed to the prevailing winds. Vrachati lays on the southern coast of the southeastern part of the Corinthiakos Gulf (see Fig. 2). The coast there has a mild slope mostly due to prodelta platforms from torrents draining into the sea and to accumulation of sediments, cir- * Senior Lecturer, ** Professor, National Technical University of Athens, Civil Engineering Department, Patission 42, Athens, Greece. 1028 COASTAL MORPHOLOGY CHANGES 1029 20' ?j. 2f ?e* •yT i i \ 1 ( / / IKNpra»tia* ' * t* Fiorina • V3Th«ssatWi ki ^ Kozpni \ <0 ) /«>CJJ-- s ^ «a £j^ » • ^\ Lirmos^jf v ,| -' "^""""Trikcla, \ *v » MitilinpiV •-<<? ,\Arja VKfV' ttVAg/inion (T) Kymi • Cl'^No S Argostot 38* ^»A«M A.

  • Coins in the Regions and Towns of Medieval Greece
    chapter 4 Coins in the Regions and Towns of Medieval Greece Coins have been found in the Greek towns and regions as hoards, singles or strays, or in excavations. Some are from overtly urban, others from rural or semi-rural contexts. Coins were deposited in graves, or discarded in rubbish dumps. The aim of this chapter is to consider specifically and afresh the coins in their archaeological and topographical settings. Our interest is to see how the different data sets can illuminate one another.
