Chaos trains: “Eight hours closed in the Intercity and no one gave us answers”
Il train derailed to Florence Castle yesterday caused chaos, Italy stopped, endless hardships on viability. The effects of the railway blockade will make themselves felt Also today on flights Milan-Rome. So much so – we read in the Corriere della Sera – that the rate cheaper, for a direct trip is of 323,75 euro (in Economy) one way, taxes and surcharges included. The most expensive one, with a national stopover in Palermo, is of 1.015,06. Again one way. Yesterday at the first light of dawn the Ita Airways website – the only company that operates the connections between Linate and Fiumicino – was stormed by those who had to go to the Capital or in the Lombard capital, the business director of Italy which mainly moves white-collar workers, politicians and celebrities.
And so – continues the Corriere – that still empty part of the 4,300 seats available on scheduled flights went exhausted at record speed and costs have skyrocketed from 7 in the morning, someone also had to do stopover abroad. The outburst of those who remained blocked on trains for hours. “We spent eight hours always stationary, – a passenger tells Corriere – after a long time we ate they brought us two snacks. We couldn’t get help from anyone, we saw the train conductor calling everyone without giving us answers. The night passed and unfortunately – continues the boy – we never moved. Someone called relatives on the phone, someone else felt unwell, we tried to give each other strength with each other. I didn’t want to worry anyone and I waited for the situation to clear up, but I couldn’t imagine that we would have stayed still for hours and hours“.
