Trains dirty and late. Time passes, but the problems of the commuters are not resolved. To put in black and white map of discomfort this time is Legambiente, who last week has been monitoring the situation of rail transport in the Peninsula campaign under the commuters. And the picture that emerges is not comforting. In our region, 39 percent of commuter trains arriving in Milan late, beyond the appointed hour. In the various stations of the capital, the volunteers have occurred that monitored on 444 trains, 173 wore a delay time between 5 minutes and a half. TRAINS FROM BRESCIA
arriving more than 5 minutes after the scheduled time are less than 13 out of 26, one to 2, with peak delay of 36 minutes. According to Legambiente, are 25 000 daily commuters who flock to the trains of Lombardy. The problems are mainly related to the "lack of maintenance on the rail network and trains that have an average age of 28 years and thousands of miles of travel on the shoulders. In recent years the railways have lost a big chunk of its members for failing to respond adequately to the demand for rail transport, "
" Dirt, delays, inconveniences are always the same - said Luigi Barbieri of the In Time -. We requested a meeting to talk about our problems, but we were not heard. "
on a war footing even ADELE Ghilardi, the Committee commuters Romano - Chiari - Rovato. "Last year was completed after waiting twenty years to quadruple the line Milan - Treviglio - explains -. On this occasion, we managed to get a new race that starts just before 7 from Brescia and is the fastest. " On the other hand, however, he continues, were added during peak hours 6 new races Eurostar Italy, three Milan - Venice and many Venice - Milan. Too bad that, he adds, just stop in Padua and Brescia, Verona and Vicenza. A real "waste", according to commuters.
"We thought that after the quadrupling it could shorten travel times. But we were told that in order to adapt the programming of races we have to wait until June. For our part, since we are already in February, asking to be heard and to have a meeting soon. We should plan to have the schedules a few days before it comes into force.
