THESouthern Italy together with the union Fast Confsal Puglia and Basilicata took stock of the two railway stations, with the regional secretary Vincenzo Cataneo who by speaking highlighted the state of the art of industrial relations between the social partners and the company RFI Spa Bari/Ancona circulation area.
In his opinion, so far the comparison has been unproductive for some time. This situation led the trade union organization to activate the cooling procedures provided for by Law 146/1990. Among the fundamental reasons there is also the delay in the implementation of the investment and technological innovation programs, the subject of today’s press conference.
Fast Confsal, together with what was stated by IdM Foggia, underlined the need to accelerate the technological infrastructure investments planned for years for the multimodal hub for passenger and goods transport.
The TEN-T network has identified Foggia as a transport hub and urban hub at the crossroads of 2 multimodal corridors (Scandinavian-Mediterranean and Baltic-Sdriatic).
Useful for both pax and freight rail transport, with notable advantages in terms of notable reductions in travel times and CO2 emissions.
The greatest delays are found on the General Master Plan, Foggia AV station and technological systems such as the Multi-station Computerized Central Equipment which are useful and necessary for increasing safety standards and improving railway circulation. “It is unthinkable – adds the regional trade unionist – that RFI spa did not take advantage of accelerating the implementation of some infrastructural interventions at the Foggia station on the North side, on the occasion of traffic interruptions for maintenance and infrastructural and technological upgrading on the Adriatic route between San Vito Lanciano and San Severo lasted about 2 weeks.
Not only criticisms, but also proposals from Fast Confsal, with a view to increasing transport volumes. The need for additional tracks for the reception and parking of rolling stock emerges and, how first offer of the Fast Confsal, there is that of the provision, equipment and centralization of 3 “ex platee washing” tracks on the Incoronata side.
This track, adjacent to the first station platform and connected to the circulation, is functional to the Naples-Rome and Bari lines to provide both the passenger service and any stops for the needs of railway companies (passengers and goods).
There second proposal of the Fast Confsal is the provision and adaptation of the track bundle “former washing platform and former MCPTC of the Foggia station” with entrance in Vico Stame. This beam would be useful both for refueling, and above all for timely intervention on the train in the event of a breakdown, with prompt intervention on construction sites for a “mobile” maintenance service organized through the use of vans or for activities such as computerized brake test (capable of certifying the correct functioning of the locomotive braking systems between one maintenance cycle and another) and the heavy mobile workshop capable of carrying out lifting and changing rooms also at the railway yards in order to speed up the resolution and reduce management times and unavailability of the vehicle.
In the conclusions, Secretary Cataneo highlights the economic advantages of the cities connected by TAV with High Speed station equal to the increase of +7% in GDP and +40% New Movements of which 21% subtracted from the road and 16% from the traditional railway.
“The news is that the total sum which in 2017 was 20 million with the current organization of Open Cohesion is worth 90 million euros. For the historic station we foresee investments to receive interregional trains”.
