Train strike of 30 October lifted: regular traffic for Trenord and Trenitalia

The train and local public transport strike initially scheduled for Friday 30 October has been officially canceled and postponed to a later date.

The decision came following the injunction signed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport through the order issued on Tuesday. The agitation called by the USB union for the railway sector (which should have affected the sector from 9pm on 29 October to 8.59pm on 30 October), was therefore frozen by ministerial imposition, with the explicit order addressed to workers in the sector to carry out the scheduled shifts regularly. The Guarantee Commission, in fact, noted the failure to comply with the exemption window established by law for public transport in conjunction with the days dedicated to the commemoration of the deceased (from 30 October to 5 November).

Regular rail circulation

Following the measure adopted by the Government, Trenord and Trenitalia have announced that railway traffic will take place without the interruptions announced previously: all trains will travel respecting the usual official timetables. Any changes to the service or reductions in journeys communicated in recent days are to be considered canceled and no longer valid. Local subways, buses and trams will also run without interruption throughout the country. But in large cities such as Milan and Rome there could be deviations or slowdowns in road traffic due to the demonstrations planned as part of the multi-sectoral general strike (school, healthcare, etc.).
