Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis apologised on Sunday for any responsibility Greece’s government may bear for the deadliest train crash in the country’s history, while a station master facing charges gave his account of the events leading up to the tragedy.

At least 57 people were killed when a passenger train and a freight train collided late on Tuesday north of Athens.
