Electric Train Skips Stop, Strands Passengers in Snow
Passengers with suitcases and bags trudged through a deep snowdrift to reach the train.
On the morning of February 5, residents of Perm complained on social media that the Krasnokamsk–Golovanovo electric train skipped the required station, and passengers had to reach their cars through snowdrifts. We show the video and publish a comment from the Perm Suburban Passenger Company (PPK).
Passengers made their way through thick snowdrifts to board the stopped train.
The author of the post wrote that the electric train skipped the Reyd stop in the Krasnokamsk district.
«People had to walk waist-deep in snow,» outraged passengers wrote.
In the footage, passengers are seen trying to walk through a snowdrift to the train«s entrance. People are swearing and helping each other board the train.
«What, is he drunk or something?» a woman off-camera complains.
«Listen, I can«t get in here!» another woman says, trying to step onto the footboard.
«We«ll help as best we can — come on!» a woman who has already boarded encourages those ahead. She extends a hand and, together with another passenger, helps people into the car.
According to Yandex Electric Trains data, train 6022 «Krasnokamsk–Golovanovo» departed on schedule, but arrived at the station in the Reyd microdistrict 1–11 minutes late.
A 59.RU journalist asked the Perm Suburban Passenger Company (PPK) why the train skipped the required station and whether the company is taking measures to prevent such situations.
«The depot will conduct an investigation of the situation during the day,» PPK told 59.RU. «The company apologizes to passengers and asks those who found themselves in a critical situation during boarding to contact the company to document the violation and take compensation measures by phone: 8 342 237-10-00.»
Earlier, we reported on a similar situation with an electric train in the Kama region, which occurred at the end of December — then the train passed the Motovilikha station and dropped passengers 100 meters away.
