Western Greece regional governor Apostolos Katsifaras said to Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Saturday that "The resumption of the railway service Patra-Pyrgos is a political and development policy" while referring to the funding of the project he said that "the region will participate with 50 percent from NSRF because we want to have an urban railway from Patras to Pyrgos".
