Study for the development of a railway network in Crete, Greece

This thesis deals with a preliminary proposal for the development of a railway network in Crete which is the biggest of the Greek islands. The study includes the feasibility, operational, economical and constructional aspects. The ambition of the study is to cover as many aspects of the project as possible and therefore the analysis of each section had to be limited. The results show that the proposal could be done in the future under several conditions though. The general goal of this thesis is to add another hint to the idea of the construction of the ambitious project titled ‘Cretan Railways’.
