Milan, November 10 – (Adnkronos) – “The Lombardy region represents a very important and fundamental part of its business for the Italian Railway Network”. That’s how Trenitalia CEO and Agens president, Gianpiero Strisciuglio, spoke at the States General of Transport, which is taking place in Milan. “We have about 1,800 kilometers of infrastructure and more than 2,000 trains every day – the manager underlines – so you can imagine its importance for us in the Lombardy Region. We are working hard to improve the service, it is clear that we still have a lot to do”. Most importantly, “we must implement a series of interventions and investments. We are talking about important investments of around 28 billion, of which 15 are already operational and concern interventions on all fronts from high-speed interventions to the most important interventions in the center of Milan, including the interventions of the new central apparatus in Milano Centrale”. “It turns out – he warned – the aim is to improve a service that daily involves 2,000 trains and about 700-800 thousand passengers. This challenge is very important and will occur in the coming months, in the coming years, together with the structures of the Lombardy Region that work with us every day to improve the service.”
“The intervention in the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics – he continued – is an important challenge that we have undertaken together with the Lombardy Region and is the result of great teamwork. A teamwork that is not yet finished and that we continue every day”. “The Olympics – emphasizes Strisciuglio – I believe is an important example that needs to be remembered as a model of collaboration between stakeholders, both in terms of infrastructure and services. The Lombardy region has provided a series of experiences and technicians who, together with the Italian Railway Network, are working and will work in the coming months to make this experience worthwhile, and not only on the occasion of the Olympics, because the legacy we will leave to the region is an important one, we will leave many more welcoming stations, better platforms and better services in the area.” “This – the manager warns – can also be a model in the future for co-designing the necessary infrastructure for the Lombardy Region that can solve the important problems that we still have to face. By working together as for the Olympics – he concludes – then we will be able to design the infrastructure of the future by solving the last important problems”.
