Italian high-speed rail hit by delays and cost criticism
Original: alta velocità ferroviaria
High-speed rail is under scrutiny in Italy on two fronts. The EU Court of Auditors has criticised major European infrastructure projects, saying costs nearly doubled and delays reached up to 17 years. Meanwhile, trains on the Naples-Rome high-speed line ran more than an hour late after a technical fault, disrupting thousands of travellers.
Why now: A technical breakdown on the key Naples-Rome line coincided with damning EU audit findings on mega-project costs and delays.
