In Greece, there are two similar classes of Stadler GTW trainsets, namely the 560 (standard gauge) and the 4500 (metre gauge), which are operated by TRAINOSE and are part of OSE rolling stock. These are suburban DMUs with two coaches, of type G.T.W. 2/6, which were built by a consortium of Stadler, Bombardier and Hellenic Shipyards[i][1] and were put into operation by OSE, between 2003 and 2004. The trainsets are either standard (560 class) or metre gauge (4500 series), but with the same technical characteristics (capacity, speed, appearance, manufacturers, power supply and number of coaches). They can be coupled in multiple coupling with up to three railcars (composition of 9 coaches together with the drive vehicles).[2]
In total, there are 29 such trainsets, 17 of the 560 class and 12 of the 4500 class. They can accommodate up to 200 passengers, 106 standing and 94 seated. They have a diesel engine type MTU 12V 183 with a power of 550 kW and reach speeds of up to 115 kilometers per hour (standard gauge) and 100 kilometers per hour (metre gauge). These trainsets are also known informally as "Railbus" (literally "rail bus"), a name used by normal people to describe the light rail cars to which they belong.
