Somach Ulcer Homework

Milan-Treviglio, agony commuter trains between Eurostar and strange decrepit

Adele Ghilardi *
an important date, July 2007, for us commuters to be issued on the quadrupling of the work of Milan-Treviglio. It was to be the turning point, the raise, The rethinking of a decent public transport, travel and finally ... but the revival was only in our heads. The first disappointment, after years of delays and obstacles (no run on the line added to the collapse) came with no dry: nothing at all until June 2008. How can it be that after years of delays the commitment to work four times over, the region is not ready with the times? We were able to obtain, with great difficulty, a race more, a fast train with the new times: already full! The rest of the fleet keeps the time 20 years ago (extended hours for work on the line, but followed with a work piece). Now we arrive on time, perhaps, but it is comforting to keep to the old schedule we stop at intermediate stations (5-10 minutes) can be reached in advance. We ask for at least touch on the timing of the most important races, shorten the gears?! But no, no ... still waiting for June 2008: nothing more, nothing else! After months
ask that meetings with the Region, a feeble response: "We meet with the institutional, then also contact the committee". In the meantime, something changes, but worse. The Interregional
were downgraded. What happens is that the crew is reduced. This reconfirms that the cut is always the minimum services, personnel working in difficult conditions and the commuter who has less and less safe and less protected: the security is optional. If a controller fails (one out of two half) are closed up 5 cars 11 ... mid-train! It means that in one month I saw (with my own eyes) close to cars on three occasions trains very important for turnout! I would say that June is no longer June, that is not true that the times are not ready but lack the means. At the end of the month threatened cancellation of a commuter train in four (25%). The bonus for excessive delays has been deleted. Just a little 'and suppress too. On the other hand on the line were added to the Eurostar six days with one stop in Padua: no Brescia, Verona, no, no, Vicenza, it would be nice to know who uses them, because they do not stop anywhere: other "vacuum switch" ... binaries, but we lack the means ... *

On that train like sardines:

the complaint. The Committee of commuters

" On that train like sardines: carriages closed '

There are growing complaints of poor service on trains by Chiari in Milan by the commuters. Tuesday morning on the train running from 2092 to Verona Brescia and stops at 7.53 to 8.54 and Chiari, were noted 5 cars locked. To keep them closed, causing overcrowding in the remaining six, there was a technical problem but the lack of a controller. The discovery was made by a commuter who, with a subscription first-class could not find a seat, sought an explanation from the controller because the six empty wagons were closed. The Board of
COMMUTERS Romano-Chiari-Rovato , has reconstructed the story thus: "The corridors were full, the first and second classes overcrowded, many passengers were standing. The controller which we have sought an explanation he said that the law keeps them closed because they can not deal with more than six carriages. " Protests from the reconstruction of Adele Ghilardi, the Committee commuters, and Trevor continued, "some cab was open and people are drained by corridors and entrances at first but many people remained sitting, with other tickets." The committee that similar incidents had already pointed out on March 4 and February 19, both on the train to Milan, and is in the evening running from Milan at 19.15, protested saying that those who had paid the subscription for the first class , hoping to find a seat, he felt doubly mocked. "In these cases - are asking commuters - this downgrading of the first class entitles you to reimbursement?".
Other testimonies of commuters, "On the regional 2710, which I take from Romano - says a Bergamo - I met with the controller only in Milan Center, 50 kilometers after it got on the train: I did not have time to report the deficiencies, not least because Lambrate already had fallen la metà dei passeggeri. C’erano due controllori per 11 vetture e mille passeggeri sul convoglio. Ma dopotutto siamo solo PENDOLARI!».
«Ci hanno fermato in stazione a Treviglio per 20 minuti - denunciano alcuni passeggeri del regionale 633 - ma non abbiamo ricevuto nessuna comunicazione. Un capotreno diceva che dovevano dare la precedenza ad un altro convoglio, senza specificare quale fosse».
Il comitato che ha adottato come slogan «abbiamo i binari ma mancano i mezzi» chiede un incontro urgente, concludendo «siamo disponibili...treni permettendo! ».G.C.C.
