A train for the rebirth of the railways in Piedmont
[ad_1]
A train full of requests and projects is about to leave Cuneo for Turin. On board a historic locomotive Sunday 14 May mayors and representatives of Legambiente Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta, Italia Nostra, the National Federation of Pro Natura, the Cuneo local railways committee, Pro Loco Montiglio, Amicinbici will rise, determined to support the claims of the territories to have a truly sustainable railway service and “get back a train arriving regularly at their stations”.
Leading the delegation will be Amodo with his spokeswoman Anna Donati, the network of over 40 associations united to promote soft mobility and the relaunch of the territories in Italy that have been fighting for years against the suspension of railway lines. Indeed Amodo is committed to promoting the reopening of 1,200 kilometers of network to railway service in Italy.

The story of the Piedmontese secondary railways
The choice of the Cuneo-Turin itinerary is not by chance. In fact, the Italian region with the highest number of suspended railways in Italy is Piedmont. The associations recall: “Ten years ago the council then chaired by Roberto Cota decided to interrupt a dozen railway lines, following a financial crisis due to factors external to the transport sector”. Now the citizens, left without a train for ten, have decided to participate in the Amodo initiative which coincides with the Wonder Railways Day 2023. Many appointments.

And if the regional councilor for transport Marco Gabusi announced the reactivation (albeit reduced compared to the past) for next autumn of two suspended lines – the Asti-Alba and the Casale Monferrato-Mortara (perhaps it will also reactivate the Novara-Varallo and Arona-Santhià lines), the suspended lines are many. Too many for the Piedmontese who live in small towns. In fact, they are waiting for their train: Alessandria-Castagnole (Alba); Alexandria-Ovada; Asti-Casale-Mortara; Asti-Castagnole-Alba; Asti-Chivasso; Bardonecchia-Modane; Casale-Vercelli; Ceva-Ormea; Cuneo-Mondovì; Cuneo-Saluzzo-Savigliano; Novara-Varallo; Pinerolo-Torre Pellice; Santhia-Arona.

“The fear – explain the associations that have joined the initiative and will get on the train – is that, as usual, a purely ‘economic’ assessment will be carried out, forgetting the value that the rail service has for the territories and for the residents, the environmental value against greenhouse gas emissions and for air quality, the tourist value of extraordinary villages and landscapes served by the train, which the Sweet Mobility Alliance has always highlighted”.
The historic train of Fondazione FS Italiane will leave from Cuneo at 9.00, stop in Busca, Saluzzo, Savigliano, Cavallermaggiore, Alba, Castagnole delle Lanze, Asti, Montiglio-Murisengo, Chivasso and arrive in Turin at 15.25.
