Since the 2008 launch of the high-speed rail network between Rome and Milan, trains have become the preferred means of travel across Italy for locals and tourists alike. Fast trains can cover the 500km between the two cities in three hours. The network also connects Naples, Bologna, Florence and Turin. In many cases, it is the best option — in terms of travel time and cost — for both leisure and business travellers.
自2008年罗马与米兰之间的高速铁路网络启用以来，火车已成为意大利本地人和游客首选的出行方式。快速列车可以在三小时内行驶完两座城市之间的500公里距离。该网络还连接了那不勒斯、博洛尼亚、佛罗伦萨和都灵。在许多情况下，对于休闲和商务旅行者来说，就旅行时间和成本而言，它都是最佳选择。
This is why the recent service delays caused by numerous maintenance works have thrown the rail industry into chaos at a time when most people head on holiday, which matters for business in a country where tourism accounts for 10 percent of GDP.
这就是为什么近期因大量维护工程导致的服务延误，使得铁路行业在大多数人出行度假的时期陷入混乱，这在这个旅游业占GDP 10%的国家对商业至关重要。
Disruptions have become increasingly frequent with train delays now a fixture in Italian media coverage. Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, the publicly controlled group that owns train operator Trenitalia and the national train network RFI, said 23 percent of all high-speed trains it operated were late in 2023.
干扰事件日益频繁，火车延误现已成为意大利媒体报道的常态。Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane，这个拥有列车运营商Trenitalia和国家铁路网络RFI的公有控制集团表示，2023年其运营的所有高速列车中有23%延误。
The huge improvements in Italy's obsolete infrastructure partly explained the disruption, said Ferrovie. RFI, the network operator, is the single largest European group beneficiary with planned investments of €24bn by 2026. Ferrovie will invest a total of €124bn in infrastructure over the next 10 years.
Ferrovie表示，意大利落后基础设施的大规模改善部分解释了这些干扰。网络运营商RFI是欧洲最大的单一受益集团，计划到2026年投资240亿欧元。Ferrovie将在未来10年内投资总计1240亿欧元用于基础设施。
But lack of capacity is another problem. Transport economist Andrea Giuricin said the planned investments would bring improvements but disruptions in the meantime were inevitable. “We have a mixed system, there is no spare capacity and as soon as there's a hiccup on the line, the situation becomes ungovernable,” he said. A more flexible approach to the planned works, with high-speed trains run over the regular train tracks as well as the high-speed network is afforded.
但运力不足是另一个问题。运输经济学家Andrea Giuricin表示，计划中的投资将带来改善，但在此期间干扰不可避免。他说：“我们有一个混合系统，没有备用容量，一旦线路上出现小故障，情况就会变得不可控。”对于计划工程，采取更灵活的方法，允许高速列车既在高速网络上运行，也在常规轨道上运行。
One of the most important changes the upgrades will bring is the segregation of the high-speed line from the regular one in certain urban centres.
升级带来的最重要变化之一是在某些城市中心将高速线路与常规线路分离。
Improvements will also come from the high-density technology and satellite signalling that RFI has been investing in for years, say experts. It will allow for a reduction of the distance between high-speed trains travelling on the same line at any given time, which should mean a significant increase in capacity and traffic fluidity, according to Giuricin.
专家表示，改善还将来自RFI多年来投资的高密度技术和卫星信号系统。据Giuricin说，这将允许在任何给定时间减少同一线路上行驶的高速列车之间的距离，从而显著提高运力和交通流畅性。
