I didn't see a train the whole time I was in Patras this time, although I saw a few the last time. I couldn't tell if the railway was abandoned this time, shut down for maintenance (the mainline from Athens was indeed being rebuilt and electrified), or what. I'm assuming that traffic had been cut back to allow the upgrade to go ahead, although that seems like a bad decision to me, even if the upgrade is much needed. Does anybody know? This crossing is actually at the entrance to the ferry port.
