A few more pictures of the new underpass. A lot of energy was spent to prevent car users from ever taking it "by accident". A curb modal filter on the western entrance, traffic lights, and the bus lanes narrow to a single lane under the tracks. @chittimarco.bsky.social

One of Italy's oddities: most new technical installations will still use "hybrid" sockets that can accommodate German Schuko/Europlug, but also the "traditional" Italian 3-prong Type L plug, a close-to-extinction technical standard by and large unused in any device built in the last 2-3 decades.

And this is true also for regional service on most lines that survived the cuts of the postwar years. Daily trains between Bologna and Imola (one direction) 1938 = 11 1975 = 21 1998 = 31 ( w/ 1 hourly-ish clockface IR regional express) 2025 = 58 (with 2 hourly clockface fast and 1-2 hourly locals)
