cuts in seven races, with fewer trains
Low Low Ten trains less and less on the Treviglio Milan-six between Milan and Brescia in the month of August, according to the tables Legambiente Lombardia. Trains that go on vacation for a month, school trips which are defined already been suspended at the end of the course and will return only the start of the school from September 8.
The deletions in August about a line as the Milan-Brescia-Venice, serving Lower Bergamo, certainly not classified as a regional and local level, but rather international. Among the two most important cities of Lombardy, Milan and Brescia, there are also links with Intercity and Eurostar trains that do not make intermediate stops on the route. This is a line that works even in August when the trains are the guests, including international traffic heading to the beaches of the North Adriatic or to the mountains of Trentino and Veneto.
Consider, for example, that for the Angelus the Pope in Bressanone special trains operate between Verona and Bressanone and back, to facilitate the flow of the faithful. But there are also many tourists day trips to the parks of Lake Garda in the art cities of Veneto.
certainly fall in August but increase commuters and holidaymakers and day trippers from the Lower and train in an hour you reach Peschiera del Garda. The railway line is like the A4 does not know that when off the traffic if we exclude the most important festivals.
And if the passenger station of the Roman Empire and Central Treviglio they perform well in August with former inter-regional trains that stop there and are always in circulation, the same can not be said for the other stops in Lower Bergamo as Vidalengo , Morecambe Bariano-and calcium. Ex stations turned into bus stops without the presence of operators of railways and not located in urban areas, a situation which further decreases the traveler, increasing those who reach Treviglio Romano or where there are more trains into service.
Even on the Treviglio-Cremona line which also serves as Caravaggio, Legambiente record seven trains in less than in August.
"We fully agree with those who say that is not true that everyone goes on vacation in August and then the Region and Trenitalia should take note of this development," says commuters Committee Rovato-Chiari-Treviglio.
"We then, in terms of time, we are still waiting for the revolution we were promised with the activation of quadrupling between Milan and Treviglio. The quadruple is already opened more than a year ago and we have not seen any improvement of the service, except put the train in the morning from Brescia to Milan. We travel on crowded trains, the route between Milan and Brescia receives more than 21 000 passengers a day, they told us last June would have changed schedules and travel times, but instead we are still waiting, we the tracks but there are no trains .
