Alice In Wonderrland Monalog

excessive speed!

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:
"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. "
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.

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

The train that I got started in early spontaneous

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

Committees

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
