“It has been allowed for a huge route – of around 80 kilometres, to be excluded from the signalling system and the signalling security equipment. According to me, such thing should not be allowed and if it was up to me, I would not have allowed it,” said Bulgarian Minister of Transport Ivaylo Moskovski speaking for Nova TV, commenting on the latest incident in which two passenger’s trains almost had a head-on-collision close to the Tserkovski railway station.
The minister added that the signalling system was switched off due to planned repair works along Plovdiv-Burgas and Plovdiv-Svilengrad routes – these railway stations had shifted to manual regulation, which is based on entirely subjective factor.
