Rail traffic will resume "gradually" in Greece from March 22 as the country reels from its deadliest ever train crash last month, a minister said on Tuesday.

Fifty-seven people, many of them students, were killed when a passenger train and freight train collided head-on in central Greece on February 28.

Rail traffic, halted after the incident at Tempe, 350 kilometers (220 miles) from Athens, "will gradually resume from March 22," minister George Gerapetritis said.
