Hellenic Railways OSE

OSE is the grand sponsor of transportation of the 21st Fejs Annual Congress in Athens. Thanks to OSE many of the participants of this congress will come to Athens and will enjoy the services of the Hellenic Railways.
“The Organization's vision is to develop a modern system for the provision of railway transport services, promoting the national railway network to a substantial and integral part of trans-European networks, meeting the need of citizens and undertakings for fast, safe, comfortable and cost-effective transport of people and merchandise and creating the requirements for further development of the network to serve the most remote areas of the country. Moreover, it seeks the economic, social and environmental upgrading of the country through high-level services.”(OSE)
Since 19th century OSE has been the National Railway Organization that transported hundreds of people in Greece.
“(OSE) On January 1 1970 (by means of the Legislative Decree 674/1970) the "Hellenic Railways Organisation" was established (as a legal entity under private law) aiming at the integrated organisation, exploitation and development of railway transport. OSE constitutes (in a way) the evolution of SEK/HSR and aims at an integrated organization, development, exploitation of railway transports.”(OSE)

Lately the organization gave priority to security and quality in services and improved in all the areas, giving the passengers foreign and domestic a comfortable and pleasant trip.
