ko the one on the sixth track. And now they are waiting for spare parts

UDINE – (cdm) There is no peace for the elevators from the station Of Udine. Again one of the two elevators ko. This time, not the one serving the first platform, but the one on the platform of the fifth and sixth, apparently out of use for a couple of daysAnd. RFI confirms the elevator fault on platform six and assures that the system “will be restored on Tuesday 28 May when the spare parts arrive”.

Activated almost a year ago, on the occasion of the Alpine Gathering, after a very long gestation (first thanks to the pandemic and then a dispute with the contracting company), the lifts of the railway station have had more than a few accidents, which have gradually been resolved.

Following the bumpy path of the elevators carefully was, among others, Cristian Sergo, current provincial coordinator of the Five Star Movement. «RFI, Trenitalia and the Region must understand that anyone preparing to take a train in rainy weather already takes into account that they may be delayed for a work appointment or a visit to a doctor, perhaps booked tens of months in advance, even thirty minutes or more. Not to mention that the application still does not allow the “quick” purchase of tickets at a discounted rate (20% or 50% depending on the case) and customer service does not intend to refund those who prove they have paid with the application the full price. Finally, the issue remains that when it rains, more often than not, the lifts at Udine Station block, making any effort towards its accessibility useless. It remains to be seen if and when we will see the other two elevators still absent on platforms 3 and 4 and 7 and 8 in operation (even every other day, we would be satisfied). Patience always has a limit”. Regional councilor Rosaria Capozzi had addressed the problems linked to the app and in particular to the new quick purchase function, announcing a question on the topic. Capozzi, in fact, had complained about the fact that this new “fast” function would allow, yes, to select and pay for tickets in an easier way, but the price would not take into account the discounted fares, from 20% of the FVG Weekend Fare (on Saturdays and on Sundays on regional trains), at 50% for Maniago-Sacile trains. Trenitalia assures that it is investigating the issue.
