More than a hundred trains were canceled, totally or partially, due to the breakdown that occurred yesterday morning on the railway line in Rome, with the disconnection of the facilities at Termini and Tiburtina stations. While about 40 High Speed and Intercity trains were delayed by more than 60 minutes. Most of the canceled trains, about sixty, are Lazio regional ones. About fifty, on the other hand, are High Speed and Intercity trains. "I have asked for responsibilities to emerge, and those who have the inconveniences created for thousands of people on their conscience will have to answer for them," said Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini. “As far as I understand it, technicians tell me there was an error by a private company that hammered a nail into a cable, and then we say that the reaction time in the face of this error - and I count that the private company will answer for it - was not up to the standard that the second industrial power in Europe must have”.
