Funding shortfall threatens regional trains (ANSA) - Rome, June 11 - Italy's regional train services may grind to a halt next year unless central and local government bodies come up with the necessary funding, the CEO of the Italian rail company warned Monday.

"In 2013, unless the budget is met, we just won't have any regional service," said Ferrovie dello Stato managing director Mauro Moretti. "I don't know what the (transport) authority plans to do but the only thing we can do is to interrupt service.

"We'll be reported to the courts, we'll see how it turns out".
