A Eurostar train left yesterday afternoon, direct from Naples to Bologna after being stopped for scrutineering at Anagni in Frosinone, the sharing is broken between the sixth and the seventh coach.
The news was announced Raniero Casini of the national secretariat of the Workers' Union (SDL), which reaffirmed "the belief that the trains do not have the necessary maintenance. As verified by the State Railway accident was not accidental as it was announced that the presentation "of a complaint to the competent authorities."
"The first tests conducted by the same drivers of the train - in fact explain the Railways - has helped to identify the last coach improperly operated the emergency brake." And, this is unlikely - the company says - the cause of what happened, it had the ability to immediately block the part of the train braking. "
"Drivers - explain the railways - they reset the system after the checks in the" spot movement "of Anagni and evaluated to be able to leave. While they gave the 'cue of movement' (the moment when the train starts to move) in starting the train is broken between the sixth and seventh coach. " A circumstance all to clarify because "the search for the responsible for this malicious act - so it defines the State Railway - has not yet had any success."
At the moment, therefore, there is no evidence of intentional character of the event. You can, in fact, that there was no real reason to activate the emergency brake. However it is not the first time that we are seeing a rapid braking for the oversight of a passenger. It remains to be understood, however, can be considered normal if the result of the bursting of the hook that brings together two cars in the convoy.
short, if Trenitalia draws attention to those who have pressed the brake, it is far more serious that the hook is broken. Also because it is not first time that this component breaks, Eurostar trains. It is not convincing at all the assertion of the railroad company, that no passengers could get hurt. Just think of the idea that a traveler had found On telephone between the two coaches, at the time of release.
These convoys are also equipped with two locomotives, one pulling head and a tail that pushes. Because the break occurred, would seem to suggest it will only run the machine head. Perhaps the brake is operated while drivers were trying to leave, why did not alarm when passengers, if not acknowledged within a few seconds triggers the rapid.
In any case, raises doubts the assertion, echoed by Fs also during such incidents, that the breaking of a hook on a passenger train is not a danger to passengers on board.
