Eav reports: 'The Circum train failure was due to sabotage that damaged the brakes'

Damage to the braking system of the central carriage, which forced the Circumvesuviana train to stop, was apparently caused by a foreign object present on the embankment, blown onto the railway track by the wind. This was reported in a statement issued by the communications office of the Ente Autonomo Volturno, which emphasized that "the damaged train that caused the interruption of service on the route was taken to the Ponticelli workshop for the appropriate and necessary checks." These checks revealed that "the braking system of the central carriage was seriously damaged by a foreign object present on the embankment, blown onto the railway track by the strong wind." "Following the damage," the statement continues, "the onboard train systems 'reacted' with due speed and activated the braking devices to ensure safety. Furthermore, the damage was so severe that the train crew, despite being experienced and applying the procedures required in these cases, were unable to resolve the issue, and it was necessary to request on-site intervention from the operational departments with the necessary emergency equipment."
