Naples. Regular service has resumed on the entire Circumvesuviana line (so to speak) after a morning of major disruption for tourists and commuters. The Ente Autonomo Volturno announced that "railway service on the Vesuvian lines resumes regularly".
This morning all trains departing or headed to Naples were blocked due to a technical problem. The service was suspended for about an hour. According to what was communicated by Eav in a press release, the latest problem was caused by a “delay in scheduling replacement of fire extinguishers on trains”.
The company has already stated that "an investigation will be carried out to determine responsibilities; those who have made mistakes will pay the consequences." The stoppage has sparked anger among tourists and commuters, especially on a holiday.
“Today's inconveniences demonstrate that we cannot play with people's safety or ignore obvious problems”. This is the comment of the representatives of the Vesuvian commuters' committees, who criticized today's poor service on the lines of Circumvesuviana, blocked in the early hours of the morning.
“Today – they write in a note – all trains stopped due to an oversight: expired fire extinguishers”. “They are dangerous incompetents – the committees add – with trains often malfunctioning and now also expired fire extinguishers on board, it is a criminal act! Fire all those responsible for the control chain who did not monitor or provide for the replacement”.
