«The train, important for the economy of Marghine and Planargia, is unable to travel due to a series of adverse events. In practice it has been stopped for three years now" Rossana Muroni, president of the Esedra cooperative, who manages the important Arst vehicle which has been stopped since the beginning of June due to an accident which seriously damaged the bridge, said this with bitterness. of iron, at the exit of Macomer.
The bridge was only repaired last Wednesday, but Arst has not yet given the green light to reactivate the tourist line. If all goes well, we will talk about it in August.
«This season too is in fact compromised», continues Rossana Muroni. «A curse. We had reservations for June, July, August and also for September. Everything was cancelled. This seemed like the year of recovery, after the blockade that prevented us from working, first due to Covid, then due to the fires of 2021, then due to a nubrifage and lastly the accident that damaged the bridge, which he broke his legs. We have lost everything again, hundreds of reservations and contracts stipulated with tourist agencies throughout Europe, on the peninsula and also in Sardinia. After losing June and July, August is difficult to recover. We're out of the loop."
«Now we wait for September and autumn – concludes Muroni – with the hope that the section between Tresnuraghes and Bosa Marina, closed since 2021 due to the fires that destroyed thousands of wooden sleepers, will also be reopened».
