From Macomer to Bosa, passing through Tresnuraghes.
The tourist line of the green train, after various interruptions and endless construction sites, which for over three years prevented travel, has finally been completed.
The green train, starting from Sunday, resumes its programming, entrusted to the Esedra cooperative.
A trip aboard the historic Bauchiero carriage, dating back to 1913, between Macomer and Bosa. A journey through history, to retrace the interior of territories marked by ancient pastoral tradition. Then a stop in Sindia, among the ruins of the ancient Cistercian abbey of Santa Maria di Corte, and in Tinnura, the Town of Art, to continue to Tresnuraghes, for a tasting of local products. Finally, we skirt the blue of the sea, up to Bosa Marina.
Arst has completed work on the entire line, damaged by fires in the summer of 2021, especially in the section between Tresnuraghes and Bosa Marina.
The fires had destroyed thousands of sleepers, then last year a storm had damaged several kilometers of tracks between Macomer and Sindia. Finally the iron bridge, at the exit of Macomer, which had been damaged last spring by a heavy vehicle that was traveling on the road below, the state road 129 bis. Now the new life of the convoy.
"We're coming out of a nightmare," says Rossana Muroni, president of the Esedra cooperative, which manages the tourist line. "From Sunday we'll be back on the road, covering the entire route, which was partly out of order due to a series of problems. Finally, everyone's back on board. Now we can really plan."
Carlo Poledrini, general manager of Arst, comments: «We have always operated promptly, trying to respect the rigorous safety standards. We are happy that after more than three years the line has been reopened in full. Other safety interventions are planned. Arst has the oldest route in Sardinia at heart».
For this glimpse of autumn we will travel in full force next Sunday and then again on October 20th and 27th and November 3rd.
There are also many requests for the winter period and the spring and summer of 2025 are expected to be full.
