Lombardy railway service and accessibility issues

Overview

Regional concerns regarding the Lombardy rail network have expanded from accessibility challenges to service capacity issues. Initially, regional councilor Gian Mario Fragomeli highlighted significant disparities in station usability for individuals with reduced mobility. Data presented indicated that while most single-track stations are accessible, only 27.3% of RFI-managed stations guarantee full usability, compared to 62.4% of the Ferrovienord network.

Following these concerns, attention shifted to severe overcrowding on the Tirano-Sondrio-Lecco-Milan line. Fragomeli has formally requested that the Lombardy Region evaluate increasing train frequency during afternoon peak hours and adding more carriages to Trenord services to meet the demands of workers, students, and year-round tourists.
