Dear colleagues, who used to get around the inter-line Turin-Bologna, you have already 'checked out the new timetable which will come' in force since 12 December 2005? You will find a nice surprise: all the direct inter-regional trains have been deleted (there are only a couple of hours to cast ES and impossible) and you'll have a stop in Milan with every conceivable delay and inconvenience that this line means and significant increase for travel time and the wallet!
We all feel our voice of protest: I have already 'sent a letter to the Trenitalia web site, I hope you to do the same! This
'the message I sent I:
"For more than' five years of use on a regular basis' the train to the path TO-BO and return to where I go during the weekend and, Apart from some disruption of "normal business" I did not have, so far, why complain. Today, however, noted with extreme disappointment that, as of December 12, with the new schedule, all inter-direct on this line (ie 'without exchange rates) have been deleted on the grounds, citing cio'che reported on your site that "over 80% of trips by train to Bologna and iR IC location of the axis of the Via Emilia originates from points in the latest Piacenza. This motivation and 'specious in my opinion absolutely does not correspond to reality' which I had occasion to note in recent years to use the service: they are in fact many travelers (well over '20%) who use this route to travel between the City 'and those of Piedmont and Emilia that with the new timetable will be forced to change in Piacenza prolonging piu'di 30 minutes (not 20 as stated by you) their travel, using trains, reservations required (by chance ... there are some direct ES) pay almost exactly twice the cost of the ticket or to choose alternative routes to return to Milan (again, coincidentally, the site of Trenitalia recommend combinations of IC ... and ES). I would note also that the decision to divert traffic TO-BO-TO on the route of Milan ', in my humble opinion, absolutely senseless and unfortunate: the links TO and BO-MI MI-suffering (and you working in the sector should know far better than me!) of a very serious and long standing problem of chronic overcrowding of trains and train delays. Under these conditions gia'disperate 'cause even those who pour over Milan Milan is not a 'direct and could benefit from less congested routes such as that of the Bologna-Piacenza-Alexandria? I guess that you all will be aware that in February in Turin will be the Olympics and that this event will bring '(hopefully) a large influx of people, so why' instead of strengthening and facilitating the links from this city 'and it' decided to make them more 'difficulty provide direct links to newspapers with only 4 Bologna (main railway junction between the northern and southern Italy) when the last time they were well under 9? This seems like an interesting question to be submitted to the organizing committee of the Olympic Games! In short, at this point hardly sincerely to understand the logic of the development plan of our national rail network and I wonder what it's doubtful, just to touch a key topical ', so firmly support the needs and intransigence' of the high-speed 'Then when the Val di Susa Turin is relegated to "the province of Milan, rail speaking, anziche'a node closely and actively linked to all other nodes Italian railway? I hope that these reflections will inspire you to rethink the choices made in the new timetable and to reconsider the eventuality 'to restore a service which, I assure you, in the past and' was always used and appreciated by a large number of your customers and that, now more 'than ever, and' important to maintain. Otherwise I hope you can clarify a convincing rationale for the choices you made during the drafting of the new timetable. Sincerely

Red Formal Dresses Under 50
testimony alonzo73
Yesterday December 3 Milan woke up under a light blanket of snow. I was headed to Bologna Pescara, on the first train in the morning, the ES of 8:56 leaving from Milan at 7:05.
At 8:45, accompanied by an aunt with too much luggage, we go on the track, seeing the billboards and screens not announce any delay. At 8:46 a loudspeaker voice announces that the train was "ninety minutes late" due "to bad weather." But hell, do not tell us potevono first, I avoided going to the track with your luggage, that in Bologna there are not escalators? We put
patiently in the waiting room with other people, resigned to the expectation with all the other north-south travelers. Then we go to the IC 587 Bari, leave Milan at 7:10, with just 5 minutes late. With my aunt, we decided to wait for the train in which we have booked the place, because the trip will be at least 4 hours.
Then there's also other trains to Rome, Milan and from all parties with minimal delays.
also Interregional 1765 departed from Milan to Bologna at 7:30 passes with just five minutes late.
the end our ES comes with 120 minutes of delay (from Milan to Bologna ...) and arrive in Pescara with another 30 minutes late for an official total of 150 minutes of delay.
pity that the voice on the microphone continues to attribute the blame to weather conditions, because of "force majeure" which exempts from Trenitalia reimbursement for the delay.
But then:
1) The bad weather should not afflict all trains on the same question? Because other trains were traveling it was a beauty, even the parties after IR, but it is only our Euro Star has had as many as 120 minutes of delay?
2) In Bologna, there was only a little ' cold. We took the rain between Ancona and Pescara, but the weather was certainly good for a train. Because the train has gained another 30 minute delay between Bologna and Pescara, what does the snow in Milan?
I requested a refund and if they give me, I'm going to do the picketing at the station!

winter approaching and with it begins again, even the tough season for us all unnecessary delays in paying commuters. Trenitalia while promoting the newspaper and television advertising campaign (the one with Blacks Marcoré) to try to promote a dynamic and innovative company, a different picture from what we tell here this blog, a new future where there will be no more delays and antiquated coaches ( We are working on a different story )
Salgo sull'interregionale No. 2738 of the 16:04 from London to Bologna unaware of what will happen and I also a little 'sorry for the fact that, for some time now, there has been nothing to write about on these pages (if we do not consider the incident of ticks and bugs zoo in the wagons of the railways). Porto Marghera out the window seems to be the cause of the fog that covers the entire lagoon and the adjacent plain. In Mestre begin the catch: the pretty young lady and seems embarrassed when he announces Conductor intercom the train that the train will start with a delay of forty minutes due to some unspecified technical problems along the line. Yesterday, in fact, it happened that the rail station of Padua has been diverted to the adjacent stations to allow the renewal of the network control software and now we must suffer the consequences (perhaps they have installed Windows XP). The Gazzettino
from the November 25, 2005:Arrival Station Monselice now resigned to having lost the connection to Mantua (train No. 11489 of Padua 17:34) that should have started ten minutes before arrival dell'interregionale. But this is not. As usual the large monitor hanging blacks on the platform are silent about train delays and also the synthetic voice of the speaker not to be news about it, indeed, being confined to remember that board the train without a ticket can be costly, up twenty-five euro fine for those who were found lacking the magic ticket. An uncontrollable desire to smash the speakers seem to get hold of a moment frozen in people looking for some news on their fate. But here comes an unexpected scheduling refresh the board announcing a delay of about fifty minutes. People, including myself, begin to sneak into the bars of the station looking for warmth (the waiting room is closed from time immemorial to prevent the homeless can sleep in a latch). Rained phone calls to relatives and friends, to mothers who are still in the gym, to fathers who were maybe at the bar with friends, brothers who respond poorly grumpy on the phone, defaulting to arrive as quickly trained dogs. Slip cover is everywhere phones such as lightsabers, people talk with people when you do not find them. It occurs to me that there is a tacit agreement between railways and airlines to spend money on phone calls to people stranded at the station. A rough estimate would be gone about two hundred euro for refills. Meanwhile, the delay increases until it touches the fateful figure of 100 (one hundred) minutes and you begin to make bets on how long this can grow (the speakers well out of the abbreviation OK the price is right, but perhaps it is only a hallucination due to cold). Arrives at 18:16 the train 20757 on track three of Mantua, which must then re-start at 19:19 in reverse. Part of the commuters waiting for the departure climbs, as well as excessive crowding the narrow spaces of the bar. I open the laptop and start writing. At this point, the train has yet to go and the train was coming from Padua to Mantua never arrived, perhaps lost to all its passengers into another space and time.
"What will happen Sunday? From 9.50 to 15.30 trains do not pass the train station in Padua. To ensure the alternative services, Trenitalia has allowed the use of one hundred buses connecting the station with the interchange points, especially with regard to regional lines. From today, however, and that goes for tomorrow in the Rome-Brenner, the long-distance trains are currently routed via Padova-Campo di Marte, will be diverted via Nogales, without going through Vicenza. Sunday, however, there is this attitude: in the Milan-Venice line trains will be diverted via Vicenza, Castelfranco, Treviso, Mestre, with interchange in Vicenza, or Mestre, the Venice-Bologna-Roma trains will be diverted via Padova Range Mars, Castelfranco, Treviso, Mestre, with interchange at Terme Euganee. As for the low line-Venezia, the trains will be deleted and replaced with buses between Mestre and Castelfranco. Padova-Mestre is on the bus will leave every half hour. "
summary:
Out Time = 16:02 - Arrival time = 19:30 - Mileage = 80Km
By a simple calculation, the average speed of travel was about 23 km / h. I must say.

Confidetiality Clause
I wake up at six in the morning with a negative print of the pillow on his left cheek. I have breakfast and go to the bathroom. At six-forty are already riding my bike. The train is at six fifty-two (No. 20751 from Mantua to Venice). Average use of five to seven minutes to reach the station, now there I made seven. When I arrive the train is already there, standing like a quail in the bushes of the dry desert station. Throw the bike on the fence of the railway without even closing it with the red lock and run towards the track access. Five meters from the nearest door of the train, it begins to move slowly as if to tease me and then goes away without me in her belly. I look up to heaven, football damp air and watch the clock of the station are six fifty, two minutes before the time marked on the board faded. I think I enjoy of waiting to obliterate my monthly subscription of new Trinca, but of course the stupid yellow boxes do not know turn to function. So it happens that I find myself well fit to the conductor of the direct n ° 5563 of seven sixteen. I find I write something in pen on a piece of paper (the value of fifty-eight euro and fifty cents) that I just delivered by providing the necessary explanations and then I sit in front of him.
The hands of the controller begins to check the inside of the nose of the controller.

Rsv Vaccine In Ontario
begin to get the first mail to the drafting of Frenitalia. More than the first, I would say is the first, since for now it is also the only one. A write is D. and report here only the initial of her name for privacy reasons (although I have not received special instructions about it). Here's what's happened:
"It took me a while to recover from the journey of hope on 19 June.
Freccia del Sud, Catania - Milan of 18:30.
We were able to accumulate six hours and forty-five minutes late !
In my complaint I was almost attacked an attendant saying that there is a third-class train and which we Sicilians are 'unintelligent' prenedere not taken so long for the plane.
Too bad that the state admits that the train as a medium that brings me back home to vote in a referendum (with a discount 60% of the ticket price).
Meanwhile, six hours and forty-five minutes late were added to the eighteen other 'normal' trip.
nearly twenty-five hours! Even if we were in a freight train.
therefore propose the formation of the Committee of Railwaymen lynching bunks and in extreme cases.
include better management and a lack of Trenitalia personnel will know what to choose. Join

Dear bodies traveling,
train delays? The fault is yours. Here is the testimony of Damiano
" I? Commuter 4 years. We formed a committee of the commuter line Civitavecchia / Rome. The answer that has been provided with regard to the delays was: "Trains are late for those like you spend too much time to board the trains from the docks, in a particular way on a rainy day .
Got it? You are slow. You are not trained enough. Arrive at the station and to the track on the sly. You stop the country with your laziness. Take the train is not a walk, gentlemen. It requires physical fitness, alertness, speed of execution. Twenty ups a day and hour of jogging in the park, at a minimum. When it rains, bring an umbrella. In fact, no: the umbrella is closed and then this slows down the operations of boarding. A bell'impermeabile and forth, singing in the rain (but the shelters? There are no shelters? What does it matter the rain, dr. Trenitalia?).
A body traveling anonymously informs us then another brilliant initiative of dr. Trenitalia:
" Today (June 6, ed), I did four hours standing because they had the good idea not to put the most cards when a place is booked. Ergo, if it comes dude you have to get the reservation, and if the train is overloaded, 'Your Means. "
Yeah. Because obviously the person in charge of booking the cards was too high a cost to be incurred for the Company. A service that could easily be eliminated. And then, what are these cards obsolete? Via. Eliminamoli. Not hindered by booking seats from x to y, while the others are a surprise. A kind of Russian roulette: if you sit here without booking you do so at your own risk. Maybe you're lucky, maybe you must, get up and do the rest of the journey standing. So learn not to make a reservation, beggar! (In brackets: if all the seats are subject to reservations are booked, what happens to those from x to y? Kept free for those who are still not available, and if one wants to book should be resigned to participate in Russian Roulette? Mah).
Thumbs up towards the dead end.

My Period Starts In A Week And I Have Lots Of Cm
Try looking on the site of Trenitalia , a phone number, e-mail, a recipient any place to go to complain about the service. Does not exist. In the shimmering blue-green world Trenitalia there are no protests, complaints, dysfunction or disruption to report. Everything is perfect, fast, punctual. The only chance you have to make your voice heard is to fill in a form in the customer area, where you can submit your comments. A note ensures that you will receive a response no later than thirty days. I once tried. Months have passed and I have never responded. Try it yourself and then let us know.
is the reason for Frenitalia . Frenitalia is the sad reality of Trenitalia, the company that takes care to hide. That of delayed trains, services unnecessary or inoperative, decaying trains, the cattle cars that break leaving on foot. Frenitalia was created to provide a service Trenitalia that, in its vision and perfettudine, you forgot to provide: complaints that the office was not there before, now there. And it's free. And you must not make any card or SuperMegaRailStar Charter Club Eurostar. You only need to send us an email. And wait for the next train late.

How To Huff Spray Paint
left Venice on the train and fourteen hours of inter-ventimilacinquecentosettantaquattro ZERODUE to Bologna, or rather, I try to go by train inter ventimilacinquecentosettantaquattro ZERODUE for fourteen hours of Bologna since, came away from infernal sun under the canopy of the station in Venice Saint Lucia, I find it empty, and no two tracks and gentle at the same time, irritating female voice from the speakers tell me
plìnplòn
inform our customers that the train [inter] number [ventimilacinquecentosettantaquattro] , hours [quattoRdiciedueminuti] for [BolognacentRale] , coming with a late, [millantanove] minutes.
plìnplòn
None of this is, indeed, only people who pay sweat, pissed off, muttering that waits in silence, which turns his face to the oracle of the black board of hours (which some theorize is equipped with its own will), grazing sheep, small pizza as well tame.
to fourteen and ten minutes the train from Bologna and on the track ten: on the platform thirty-five degrees inside the car at least forty. Head restraints dripping fat accumulated during the many winters of service, the arms of the passengers seem to vent chimneys that rise from the horizon spit their flames of Porto Marghera. Not enough to fully open the windows to stop this dripping. Obviously the air conditioning does not work, since I pay monthly subscription of only € fifty-nine. Upon completion of this pleasant picture of early summer, he ran into a practical example of the "Theorem the Old Lady "that enlightens me and makes me understand how things really are:
Old Lady
theorem (or paradox of the open window)
As a passenger of the railway was Frenitalia hours, defined by you the temperature in degrees Kelvin external environment and you measured the temperature inside the car, out the window with Δxl'apertura closer to the passenger in question and the y lady (etàsignora> 65 years) sitting on the seat behind the passenger, if
then labeled with the maximum possible opening of the window on its guides, it follows that
Δx → x
it is clear that y, that the lady, the increase of Δx will be increasingly inclined to get up from your seat along a curve to rudely ask for Boolean front passenger to close the window to avoid the well-known phenomenon of "Maxwell's demon".
In other words, my window has been closed until the arrival at the station courtesy of Monselice and I contributed the most fattening of the seats of the train-green Padania interrregionale ventimilacinquecentosettantaquattro.
As further evidence of this "theorem" Old Lady "and my anger towards the wrong railways, get on the train regional seimilaquattrocentovetisette of three thirty-five p.m. from Padua to Mantua. It 's a railcar. Salgo, which are the three thirty-five p.m. split and I think, a bit of 'I'll be home, just bring more patience and endure' I'm hot for another quarter of an hour. But the quarter of an hour passes and the train if they're still standing in the sun Monselice. There is something wrong. Shortly thereafter, another ten minutes, an ambulance arrived and the men come down from the orange to get hot and then the train stopped. Maybe someone will be felt unwell, I think. And so, in fact. The stretcher off the train with a lady on board in a state of unconsciousness before being loaded into the ambulance. Perhaps, I suppose, some individual who was sitting in the front wanted at all costs keep the window open on the way to feel conceited Padova-Monselice the wind in your face, regardless of the inevitable consequences of the "Theorem of the Old Lady." Someone fabled the cause instead of the poor were forty degrees inside the car, because of the heat and lack of air conditioning ... bah! Gossip period.
The train starts half an hour late and then some more.
