Although those seats were reserved for a group of disabled people, and the signs indicating it had been posted, a group of tourists who had illegally occupied them did not want to sell them, even after the intervention of Polfer. It happened yesterday afternoon on a direct train from Genoa to Milan.
A group of 27 disabled children, with three companions, had reserved seats on the Regional train 3075 Albenga-Milan. The convoy had been vandalized near Savona (a fire extinguisher had been activated) and was replaced with a less capacious one. On the windows of the wagon were i signs indicating that the seats were occupied from a party, but the other travelers have occupied them anyway. There was no way to get them to give up, despite four customer service agents boarding with three railway police officers to ask for seats to be vacated. The squatters did not want to know even when they learned that those seats had been reserved for a group of children with disabilities.
Trenitalia, at that point, had no choice but to put a bus is available to accompany the disabled young people in the group from Genoa Piazza Principe to Milan. The crowd was such that the buses became three (and carried around 150 passengers in all).
In a press release issued by the Liguria Region, the story has been reconstructed in detail. «The first problem occurred in Savona where it was necessary to replace the convoy bound for Milan because it was subject to vandalism. The company has prepared replacement buses and a new train, with seats reserved for the group of people with disabilities ». Then, “arrived at the Principe station, despite the signs posted, the seats kept free up to Genoa at the head of the train, despite the presence of Trenitalia staff and Polfer agents, the young disabled people were not seated by other travelers, ‘they in the capital. Young people with disabilities were therefore forced to get off with the help of their companions and are now reaching Milan on board a dedicated bus made available by Trenitalia with dedicated assistance staff “.
The story of the seats reserved for the group of disabled and illegally occupied has aroused indignation and indignation. “What happened is shameful, an episode to be stigmatized. It marks the total lack of respect and sensitivity towards people with disabilities ”, said the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti and the councilor for transport Gianni Berrino. «Despite the Trenitalia operators and Polfer agents intervened, there was nothing to be done. An unspeakable episode that must be firmly condemned ».
