All commuters are TO-BO
of Pamilla
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
Odyssey in ice
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!
