Recent delays recorded on different
train services are in line with percentages registered over the
past few years, the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca
Ciriani said on Wednesday during a question time session at the
Lower House on the train chaos.
"The delays reported on different types of rail connections are
in line with the percentages of the past few years", he said,
quoting figures released by the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) rail
group.
"The punctuality rate is, in fact, 74% for Frecce (high-speed
trains), 82.6% on Intercity and 88.9% on Regional" trains, he
said.
"The reasons for the delays are in 34% of cases related to the
reliability of infrastructures and for about 25% to rolling
stock" while the remaining causes cannot be attributed to the
railway system, said Ciriani.
