Fourteen railroad stations which are reported as unproductive are proposed to be closed down. An amendment to that effect, submitted by the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, has been put up for public debates.
The following stations are proposed for closure: Halt km 111, Halt km 1507, Zaim, Kulima, Greceni, Kiriutnea, Mereni, Bahmut, Hiliuţ, Glodeni-Răuțel-Glodeni, Târdea, Cobâlea, Ghizdita, and Hadjimus.
It has been reported that the stations are generating annual losses of 15 million lei.
However, the former stations will continue to be used as simple halts where trains will stop to load and unload passengers. Timetables will remain unchanged and no layoffs will occur as staff will be transferred to other functional railroad stations.
