“It was determined that the ministries had not decided on the model for acquiring the trains nor on the entity that was designated responsible for the task. If the decision is not taken soon, there is a risk that there will be no trains to operate on the railway in 2030/2031. Furthermore, the cost of acquiring the trains as well as maintaining and operating the railway are not included in the project budget, and cannot be financed from European Union funds,” say the auditors – opening up the bizarre possibility that a shiny new rail link could open in 2030 with no trains running on it.
