Rail traffic in the Milan hub is gradually recovering, Ferrovie dello Stato reports, but the situation remains critical. The Frecciarossa Alta Velocità bound for Napoli Centrale, departing from Milan Central Station at 7.30:230, has accumulated a record delay of XNUMX minutes.
The train, stopped at platform 15, is still among the first departures indicated on the timetable, holding the negative record for delays caused by the technical checks on the power line underway since this morning.
Other connections are no better. The 10:30 Italo high-speed train to Turin Porta Nuova is 80 minutes late, as is the 11:10 Frecciarossa train to the same destination. Several trains have been canceled: the 11:25 Verona train, two trains to Venice scheduled at 11:35 and 11:45, and the 11:40 Frecciarossa train to Salerno.
Travelers forced to stay in Milan an extra day
Among the stranded travelers, a family with two young girls who were supposed to return to Naples described their inconvenience. "We got a new ticket for tomorrow," they said, "but it's a disgrace. We have to stay in Milan an extra day, obviously at our own expense."
The situation is being constantly monitored, but the inconvenience for passengers seems set to continue for hours.
I agree with Silverio, the delay of the Frecciarossa is really exaggerated and there are families in difficulty. Let's hope that the Ferrovie dello Stato finds a quick solution to this situation.
The train situation in Milan seems very critical and it is not known when to return to normal. Travelers are suffering from several delays and inconveniences, and this is not acceptable for a public service.
