On that train like sardines:

" 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.

From Brescia to Milan in a late train on two

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.
