Another dose of stupidity, which was served to rail travelers on 11- you may A departing train did not wait for passengers to board and left them standing at the Karnobat railway station. It is about people traveling from Karnobat to Plovdiv with the fast train 8632 from Varna. About 20 people were waiting for the train leaving at 19:12 for Plovdiv.
This was reported by a passenger who suffered from the situation at the station.
"How come after 4 years of renovation, the station still doesn't have a single electronic board showing the arrivals and departures of trains? There was no information about the time and place or track of arrival. Suddenly at 19:11 it was announced over the loudspeaker that the fast train 8632 would depart from the 4th track. All the people from the waiting room rushed to the underpass to reach the platform. At that moment, the conductor appeared and waved the green baton for the train to depart.
Thus, 20 people, including children, women and foreign citizens, traveling to Yambol, Nova Zagora, Stara Zagora, Chirpan and Plovdiv remained at the station. Attempts to resolve the situation were unsuccessful. All information was in the form of a closed cash register window and forbidden access to the office premises.
An operator from the BDZ information center said that nothing could be done about it and suggested that we wait 4 hours until the next train. A few days ago, BDZ announced a 20% increase in tickets on average and they expect more revenue, but there will be no money collection. Any normal person will not buy a ticket. He will endure the nightmare, but he will pass for free".
And it ends - Bulgaria is headlong on the path of African countries – to mainly develop bus transport, because even if you like to travel by train – they will kick you out!
