On Wednesday evening, protesters hurled rocks at train company offices in Athens, before being dispersed by volleys of tear gas fired by riot police. Protests also broke out in Thessaloniki.

Transport Minister Kostas Karamanlis resigned over the crash. His successor, Giorgos Gerapetritis said he was taking over on Thursday with a mandate to investigate the crash and modernise the ailing railway system.The station master of Larissa train station was arrested on Wednesday and appeared before a local magistrate on Thursday. Oikonomou said the man, who has not spoken publicly, had admitted to being guilty of negligence.
"The station master made a mistake, he acknowledged it, but surely there should be a safety mechanism to fall back on," he said.
