Youths fired petrol bombs and stones at police who responded with volleys of tear gas on Thursday (March 16), during a demonstration of thousands of Greeks over the state of the country's railway system that led to a deadly collision.

The rally was one of several since the train crash on February 28, where 57 died. Unions called a general strike, halting transport at ports, airports, bus, train and railway stations.
