Citizens candidates to the Congress of Deputies, Miguel Garaulet, Jose Luis Martinez and Maria Dolores Jimenez, along with Citizens spokesman Cartagena, Manuel Padin have known this week, first hand, the situation where the line is Train Renfe-Feve linking Cartagena and Los Nietos.
During the trip some workers of this company have wanted to move Citizens candidates proposed very interesting to improve the service on this tour.
One of the main complaints of the workers is that the machines are not adequate.
Currently have six machines UTDH-2900 series allow users to 25 seats and a total capacity of transporting 75 people.
Insufficient to deal with, among many other examples, a school trip or any concerted collective planning;
it should be realized that are also regular lines, so in such cases would have to share space with the users of the day.
We must remember that this line of about 20 kilometers, passes through Santa Lucía, Vista Alegre, alums, El Llano La Union, or The Straits Hospital until the grandchildren, so its existence is key to facilitating healthcare Cartagena, and to boost the obvious social and tourism potential of the area.
Citizens proposes solutions
Citizens Cartagena regrets the shameful neglect of Renfe service in this area is, and will present in the coming days the City Council and the Autonomous Community solution to revive this line and make it what it should and can be: a sanitary backbone , tourism, social and economic.
Citizens proposes considering whether to replace existing train units for the machines UTDH-2700 series of higher capacity and performance;
Citizens advised by railway engineers and other professionals in the industry, believes that would be most appropriate for this tour and to demand that exists, and thus would offer a better service to citizens.
Not only increase the number of travelers and thus revenue, (a single machine of this series has a total capacity for 185 users, with 80 passengers
with seat) rates of reliability and punctuality are also assure us, it increases.
Another positive consequence of having at least two machines of the 2700 series is that the auditors could better record the passage as these units have an intercom through which could move this professional;
today, with 2900 that this is not possible.
In addition, exchange model trains would cost no more than necessary to get them transportation;
2700 machines are operational but are being underused in other lines where demand is minimal.
Therefore, citizens will apply through the full City Council of Cartagena, that necessary to request the replacement of the units (the '2900' for the '2700') and also will claim steps are taken it Compile a study of railway profitability to generate a real map by which they may know who needs what in every part of Spain.
Citizens also denounces the lack of personnel in Cartagena, the unwillingness replacement of vacant posts after retirement, and the absolute lack of provisions to sick leave, rest days or holidays.
The lack, as mentioned, of reviewers, means that many travelers can not be registered which is not only a major loss of revenue, but statistics prove the number of travelers totally unrealistic.
This issue has been dragging on for too many years without the company or the Autonomous Community offers a solution.
Many workers Renfe-Feve fear that if immediate solutions to enhance this service is not offered, as strategic line train like Cartagena-Los Nietos end up disappearing.
Citizens consider that a line with as much potential as it does not deserve its abandonment by the company Renfe and the region.
Alternative solution
Being exposed the most viable solutions, professionals consulted by Citizens have also told us that if this is not possible other solution would put the current units (but yes would caution that this expenditure, which we consider unnecessary).
