(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 24 - A 24 hour national strike of Ferrovie
dello Stato (FS) rail group staff proclaimed by some independent
trade unions, from 9 pm Saturday January 25 until 9 pm Sunday
January 26, could have a significant impact on train travel, FS
said on Friday.
The union protest could lead to changes to the circulation of
Frecce, Intercity and Trenitalia Regional trains, the rail group
warned.
The effects, in terms of cancellations and delays, may occur
even before and last beyond the end time of the strike, which
was called by the unions CUB Trasporti, USB and SGB.
Trenitalia urged passengers to inform themselves before going to
the station about the active services through the Trenitalia
App, the Infomobility section of trenitalia.com, the social and
web channels of the FS Italiane group, the toll-free number 800
89 20 21, as well as in ticket offices and assistance offices at
railway stations, self-service outlets and affiliated travel
agencies.
It invited passengers, if possible, to reschedule their travel
plans. (ANSA).
