Circumetnea, anyone ?
“I went to Riposto expecting the Circumetnea. The timetable said trains were running — even the night before.
I arrived to find the station silent, no train, no staff… just one man in hi‑viz strimming the platform edge.
He looked up, shrugged, and went back to the weeds.
A brand‑new hydrogen fleet on order, and the only thing running that day was the strimmer.”
New train in shed, no service, no timetable but by God the weed control was immaculate!!
