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!
