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.
Things are no better for other connections. The train High speed Italo's 10.30 train to Turin Porta Nuova is 80 minutes late, as is the 11.10 Frecciarossa to the same destination. Several trains have been cancelled: the 11.25 Verona, two trains to Venice scheduled for 11.35 and 11.45, and the 11.40 Frecciarossa to Salerno.
Travelers forced to stay in Milan an extra day
Among the stranded travellers, a family with two little girls who were supposed to return to Naples tells of the discomfort. “We have obtained a new ticket for tomorrow – they declare – but it is a disgrace. We must stay in Milan one more day, obviously at our expense”.
The situation is being constantly monitored, but the inconvenience for passengers seems set to continue for hours.

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.
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.
