The event promoted by the Trenitalia Nuorese committee to try to bring the railway to the city was organized for 23 September at 11, in front of the railway station in via Lamarmora in Nuoro.
The capital - which is the only provincial town in Italy in this situation - is not connected to the national ordinary-gauge railway but is served only by the narrow-gauge Arst trains that connect it with Macomer.
In fact, the Committee fears that the territory could lose the NRP funds for the Nuoro-Macomer line, a section that could be converted to an ordinary gauge. The spokesperson of the committee, Claudio Solinas, calls together all the mayors of the province, but also those of the east coast, from Orosei to Olbia, who in 2020 had signed an application in favor of the transformation of Nuoro Macomer and for the new line Nuoro Olbia.
"According to the plan of the State Railways - reads an open letter - Nuoro is not even mentioned and would be excluded until 2031 from the 2022-2031 industrial plan of the Ferrovie dello Stato group, which foresees 190 billion to be invested in infrastructure. The capital of Barbagia risks being permanently excluded from the NRP, but also from the other resources of the State Railways Plan. And this despite the fact that since April 2021, the SaRNet Sardinian Rail Network data sheet to improve our railway has been sent by the Region to the Ministry of Infrastructures and sustainable mobility ".
For Claudio Solinas "the transformation of Nuoro Macomer is also necessary and urgent for the Nuoro Olbia connection. economic development. There are no other possibilities to carry out the works, if not the concrete ones of the Recovery Fund. Nuoro cannot wait until 2031 - he concludes - for this reason on September 23 we will give life to a great event that will wake up those who govern us ".
