Xhat kind of place is actually reserved to french train building on international scène above all interested foreign market .
Italians simply do it better. The nation that represents a whole continent in food, fashion, elegance, lifestyle, mentality! 🇮🇹🇪🇺
It's a French train 🙃
@Mar Coac It's built in both France and Italy but it's an Alstom train. By the way, the Frecciarossa 1000 is an Italian-Canadian train (made by AnsaldoBreda, now Hitachi, with the collaboration of Bombardier).
Il treno Italo evo è costruito solo a Savigliano Cuneo
Are you Italian? 😂
@@camotech1314yes I’m Italian too so?
As an Ghanaian immigrant living here in America this video always brings me memories. This train passes right behind my father's house in Reggio Emilia. Growing up as a kid when social media wasn't too popular I always stood at the balcony and watch dozens of trains pass by each year. I miss the good old days. Now I am here in Ohio with no trains lol
You're welcome 🙂
Hi !! Nice !! I love train stations !! And airports !! Lol. I didn't know there was no train in Ohio !!? I live in L.A.,I am Japanese. 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Hello are you there still eh?
@@9-xty138 No I currently live in America 🇺🇸.😇
When the train reaches 300 km/h it feels like it's moving at 100, at most. Truly smooth and comfortable trip.
Absolutely 🤗
186 MPH @@NonstopEurotrip
The best train ever, elegant, stylish, and efficient! Simply italo, quintessentially and proudly Italian... ❤
Travelled on both Trenitalia and Italo…. Executive class…both exceptional, wonderful staff, service, and only Japan compares to the experience…and thats a whole different world. I cannot wait to return to Italy and do more rail travel 👍❤️ s
Execute class 😳
Both great experiences 😊
I am Japanese & I have to say we do have the best trains & the most time efficient in the world !! Thanks so much !! Lol. I live in the U.S.,I am surprised to see so many more over there in Japan that I didn't know they existed !! Sadly ,some forest destruction was done I learned & that disturbed me a lot very regretfully !! They shouldn't had done that !! 💜🥁🐉🎤💞
High speed rail in Italy is just so well executed and elegant lol. Can cost a fair bit, but its worth it. They do it with style and in my opinion is unmatched throughout europe. Close contender being France or Spain. Italo never fails to please me 😁
Miles more stylish than France and Spain, but a shame the network isn't further reaching 🤷🏻♂️🇮🇹
Actually Italo if you do not travel in business has often some pretty good deals. In economy class you can get from Milan To Rome for around 35 - 50 euros.
@@francescotomba1350, could one do a day trip with those deals?
@@Neville60001 Yes, yes if you are interested look at the Italo website. I am not sure but if you go anywhere and come back the same day you will have some additional discount. The only drawback is that Italo covers only major cities, if you have to move from a little town you have to rely on Trenitalia
@@francescotomba1350, thanks for the info.
High speed trains is the best solution for visit Italy and Europe in general. Europe is full of interesting places not too far one to another.
Oh absolutely agree ☺️
No it isn't "the best solution". It's roaming through Italy in a nice cabriolet and visiting all those gorgeus tourist-free areas with wonderful food and beautiful sights.
Train rides are like plain flights,you see nothing of the places you go through. They are McDonald's of tourism.
Used the Italo service between Milan and Rome it was excellent. Splurged and booked the 4 seat Club Private compartment, traveling with family. The staff was very attentive. The ride was great. It's worth the splurge to enjoy this service and train. I'll do it again next time in Italy
Absolutely! Worth treating yourself once in a while ☺️🇮🇹
I did this also, but my experience was being trapped with a family with 2 small children and constant loud conversation. After 20 minutes of such torture, I left and sat in second class at a seat facing forward, with a view out of the sun and without noise from people sitting so close that out knees touched. I will never travel first class unless I am in a group that books the entire cubicle.
If you flew from Rome to Milan, if you count the time getting to and from the airports, the train would be nearly as quick, and from the train you get to see the scenery.
Oh absolutely, it's quicker by 🚆🇮🇹
if you are a tourist tue train is quick because you gi from city center to city center (where all the historical tourist attracion are), all airport are at least 20 min away of the city
Not only that, but you arrive/depart from near the center of each city, gotta be better than trying to get a taxi to both airports, eh?
Oh wow !! Man !! There's another way to look at it !! THANK YOU !! WOW ! LOL.Maybe more time saving trips can be done if we look more into train rides everywhere !!? Not the case always, but yea ..!! What a fresh idea ! Lol.But ,the cost is another topic .👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Less hassle , bags and security..
train is nice way to travel .
In the last 5 or 6 years we've gone both ways -- Milan to Rome and Rome to Milan -- on each of the two fast train lines. Both were magnificent experiences. It's really the fun way to make one's way around Italy. Thanks for the video.
Oh absolutely is 😊
Is there room for full size luggage? We will be flying into Rome from another destination to spend a few days and want to finish our trip in Milan and to also connect to our flight back home from Milan. Thus we will be needing to transport our entire luggage. Is that possible?
Beautiful high speed train, sure wish we had them here in the USA!
One day maybe?
@@NonstopEurotrip, sadly, it would be only in a few corridors instead of being nationwide, and come after you and I are gone (both for the USA and Canada.)
Italo also in USA 🇺🇸
@@bernice5461, since when did this become a religious service? Keep that bullcaca to yourself.
Here in the US we spend everything on military and way over priced healthcare. No money for good infrastructure.
We did the Rome to Venice trip on Italo in 2017. Great experience. Wonderful trip. Highly recommend this train service.
Completely agree 😌
My father loved trains, he would be amazed.
Best fast trains in the world. Italy is a paradise for a spanish tourist.
You have pretty good trains yourself 🙂
Really? I ‘d say the opposite…
Там си и стойте!
На един акъл сте!
Exactly, it's very good.
@@emailprivata6385No lmao, Italy is way better you have no taste, spain had the worst trains in the developed Europe lol hahaha...
Always love your Italian videos. Brilliant as ever. Italian high speed trains are probably some of the best in the world.
Agree. If only the network was further reaching! 🇮🇹
@@NonstopEurotrip I quite agree and I think more HSLs are being planned. To extend the Milan to Brescia HSL as far as Venice . And I think another is in the pipeline linking Naples to Bari .
@@NonstopEurotrip they are now renovating some lines with state budget +pnnr budget.
They are linking Genova-Milan with a new line(terzo valico) ot should be completed by 2024/5.
They are upgrading the lines from Napoli to Reggio calabria and Rome to Bari.
It should be ready by 2026.
Let's cross our fingers!
I'm an Italian living in the London. Thanks for the video, I loved it. In italy we constantly complain about our railway lines, but t think they are really great (much better than the ones here in UK), at least for the high speed.
L'alta velocità in Italia è fenomenale, molto meglio di qualsiasi altro Paese che ho visitato. Il problema sono i regionali, specie alcune tratte (coff coff Trenord sto parlando di te)
I am from the UK living in Canada and definitely loved the Italian trains. There are similar in Britain as well which are sadly lacking here in Canada. Our trains here look like something from the 19th century.
@@Danipiz666 fidati... trenord rispetto ai regionali qui al sud è oro
L alta velocità ,anzi i normali treni,esistono solo per il nord Italia,per gli abitanti del meridione esiste solo la morte grazie al razzismo degli italiani del nord
@@Danipiz666 esatto, non ho mai avuto problemi con i treni ad alta velocitá!
I am so glad Italy got the fast Trains right, cost is comparable to a flight (and is less once you include taxis from the airport) removes all the non productive time associated with airports and is similar comparable duration once you calculate from city centre to city centre, also more energy / carbon sustainable. They are just excellent
Exactly Andrew ☺️🙏🏻
Italy is a wonderful county and also has amazing trains. Very good. 👍😊
It sure does 😀
l'Italia non esiste , è un paese razzista. Questi treni esistono solo per il nord Italia,gli altri italiani vengono trattati come animali
11:51-@Nonstop Eurotrip, did you know that Italy was the first nation ever to build HSR? It did so on a small basis in the mid-'30's (a line between Bologna and Naples), using the ETR 200, designed for 200 km/h [120 mph], but in service it achieved a top speed of 203 km/h (126 mph) near Milan on 20 July 1938 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FS_Class_ETR_200 )
I did know, yes, but then I'm a train guy 🤣
8:24 a bit of nitpicking, the wine is "Prosecco" (small typo there)😁 Hahaha, apart from that, always tremendous videos, Max. Italo is a terrific competitor to Trenitalia and I think the AGV is quite a powerful beast, I love that it speeds up to 320 km/h on regular service. Hard to choose among them, honestly. I truly enjoy both🤩
Keep coming those good videos! Cheers
It only travels at 300kmh right now, but it's it very cool and comfortable to ride 😍🇮🇹
I was in Rome in 2011 and I took a tour of Capri on Bus, however I had tickets for Italian open tennis. I choose to miss day sessions to go to Naples and Capri, however I wanted to see the evening session. Although I was booked on bus tour I took train back to Rome because it was much quicker and had me making it back to Rome to watch tennis in the evening session.
Roma Termini is a station I have spent a little time in. Of course never in lounges and things! Could only ever travel on the shortest of shoestrings 😊. But I do like the crowds and buzz in airports and train stations - reminds me that I am privileged to at least be traveling at all!!! 👍
Exactly, making of the most of travelling when you can is always my mantra too 👌🏻
Fantastic ride.! great train and accommodations. I will never see that happen here in the USA in my lifetime. But I do remember the service before the interstate and planes pushed trains to the background. and freight etc. sad. but true. Thanks for sharing ECF
I know. The best Amtrak has to offer is pretty pitiful by comparison.
I think the Avelia Liberty is similar but idk I’m italian
USA they have in the mind s only industry of arm S....USA SPEND FOR ARMY...800 BILION OF DOLLAR!! FOR WAR S TO COUNTRYS OF THE 3⁰WORLD : AFGANISTAN, VIETNAM, LIBIA, IRAQ...NEVER VS A COUNTRY WITH AVIATION AND A ARMY GOOD....CODARD S PEOPLE
I took the Italo from Venice to Florence, it was an awesome experience traveling at 250 kmph in the tunnels. The WiFi throughout the route was infallible, at 50 Mbps I wasn't complaining 😀
Amazing!
I really love Italo. I've tried Frecciarossa trains in the past, but they are much more expensive compared to Italo. And even in the lowest class, it's very comfortable! And they usually make special offers and discounts, especially if you're young!
Yes, they have some great deals. The business/prima classes are basically the same, but I prefer Italo as it's normally cheaper! 👌🏻
Yes, I had realized Italo was much more affordable !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Great film 👍and beautiful scenery 😍
I like the train inside.
Pretty nice isn't it 😌
Love it! I did Roma to Venetia via TrenItalia, and I loved that...so I know this is something I'd definitely do! Thanks for your video and attention to every aspect of detail!!
Great video once again Nonstop!! I can't wait to ride the Italian rails this summer
Me too 🇮🇹😎
Very fine ride indeed... love the entire experience. Thanks!
You're very welcome 🙏🏻
I really appreciate the cleanliness of Italo trains, you can see the cleaning crew standing by to board the train at 21:20, quick turnaround time!
My last train trip in Italy was in 1984. FS was the only act in town. Thanks for this terrific update!
Just a bit different 😂
Italo never fails to please me, greetings from Italy
Me too 😊
Hello Italy 🇮🇹 😍!! My No.1 favourite countries are Italy 🇮🇹 & Wales 🏴 !! Hugs from L.A. ( Los Angeles ) ,I'm Japanese. 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Recently traveled with Italo’s bullet train and noticed that the train by itself is quiet even at high speed of 250-300 Kmh, all the vibrations and noises you hear comes from the suitcases or other passengers belongings that are in the coach!
I just realized that by paying attention at the sources of noise during the trip.
They're great trains!!
Lol. Very good observation !! 👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Superb video; I have not yet been on Italo; my next trip to Italia will include prima classe on Frecciarossa, from Milano to Ancona (my family name is Breccia, so I might say Brecciarossa!). Thanks for your excellent reports. Ciao! Ciao!
You're welcome Alberto 🇮🇹🤩
Chiaramente è un cognome italiano
Amazing video of a beautiful trainset... this is definitely on my traintravel list, thanks for sharing!!!
You're welcome 😄
I travelled from Rome to Milan in the same train in May 2015. I had boarded this train from Roma Tirbutina station and not Roma Termini. Fond memories! 😇
Thanks for the ride on an excellent train service ! 👍😁🇦🇺
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video as always 😁 and loved the fact that train operators are providing business class experience with lots of features similar to those that are provided on airlines and loved to see more and more people are using trains over airplanes and wasn’t expecting that the TV screen was tucked away in one of the armrests… and complimentary drinks and snacks are always welcomed they do add a nice touch to person’s overall experience and in my opinion, I prefer both the trains Italo AVG and Frecciarossa 1000 they are magnificent but when it comes to livery I would prefer Italo AVG.
They're both excellent trains! I will do Frecciarossa executive when I get the chance to compare them, but yes it's a very lovely way to travel, I really enjoyed it! Glad you liked it mate ☺️🙏🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip can’t wait to watch that trip report in the future!!! 😀
A lot of high speed trains in Italy are very modern & compact & some often offer business class as I know from previous reviews experience the food is very good.
1st class train is nowhere near 1st class long haul on Emirates, Qatar etc .... nor are the the prices fortunately.
@@karroketo that's because first class on big airplanes is designed for flights that last 10 to 20 hours, while these train journeys take far less.
Love going in these trains. I'm always so glad when I can!
Same here!
Thank you for this marvellous Eurotrip...!!!
Our pleasure!
Wonderful train and journey, yes I did travel from Milan Central to the Downtown area to see the local attractions when I had a 12 hour lay over at the Milan Airport, had to take couple of local trains from Airport to Milan Central
It's great fun 😁
Thank you for a great review ! I think the Italo AGV is truly superb, and must ride in one soon. The onboard service looked good, but surprised there is not a full dining car within the unit.
Yeah, but compromises eh. Would be nice is full meals were served but it's not too long a trip, since can be though! 😀🇮🇹
Interesting and Very Beautiful Train, Thanks for Sharing, Greetings from Brazil
Muito top essa viagem, conforto maravilhoso e muito rápido. Parabéns pelo vídeo... 👏🏿🤝🏿
Thank you 👍🏻
Great trip report!! I too would chose Italo Club for this journey. Speed, luxury are worth the cost.
Thank you Max for sharing😀😀♥️♥️
Glad you liked it Scott! I'll just have to go and do Frecciarossa executive now won't I 😄🇮🇹🚆
@@NonstopEurotrip Absolutely
So, like that, your name is Max?
@@louislegrand2865 no my name is Scott. I was merely thanking Max for a great review
Italy seems to be modernizing their railways really fast. 18:40
Absolutely are!
Yes, unlike roads network which is in very bad conditions
@@sergiobertoni4074 Definitely not highway system that is good
Leaves the US in the dust!
Only in italy 2 sistem s of high speed: italo ,frecciarossa
Nice walking tour of Termini station and train travel. We enjoyed a lot! Greetings from Rome :)
Great Video ! Thanks for share your experience !
If you need to travel between Milan and Rome, the fast train is WAY faster than flying. You go from city centre to city centre, 3 hours in total, no long queues for security checks or trips to the airport.
Italo and, less often, Frecciarossa, have sometimes deals if you book in advance.
Edit: I especially like about Italo that there is always personnel at the doors to check passengers' reservations. So you don't get strange people sneaking in.
Absolutely 🤗
Well Milan Linate Airport is very close to the center, it's a marvellous city airport, what is far is Rome Fiumicino Airport
@@radovan107 right. From Linate you can just take an ATM bus (= city transportation) and be in the centre in less than half an hour. It's all the before and after the flight that takes away a lot of time compared to train travel.
Great trip report
Thanks Luis 😀
Best way to get around Italy indeed 🎉 so much fun!
It really is!
Excellent video.....have travelled multiple times on Italo. Great value for money.
I agree 💯
12:12 the reason why the Rome-Florence HSL (also called "Direttissima") is in 3kV DC, is because it was completed before it was finalized that the EU standard for HSL was 25kV AC - and also because it's often used by local and classic intercity trains, who use the Italian standard of 3kV DC. In this way it's more similar to the German and Austrian high speed lines, rather than the French ones.
The works you mentioned consist in upgrading the signalling of the line to ETCS2.
14:08 that's not totally correct, there are works to build a HSL underpass to make high speed trains avoid using classic lines. But it's been stuck for years. Probably it will be completed by 2026/2027, but I'm not too sure either.
Yes, back in 1977 no one even thought about introducing 25kV to Italy where entire network was on 3kV. And initially the plans for Direttissima were even more modest, planning it for the speeds up to 180 km/h, but later it changed. And yes, Florence is a bottleneck for HS trains. They can use Campo di Marte station to avoid reversing, but it's quite unpopular because it's a little bit too far from the centre. However, digging beneath Florence isn't easy since the ground is archeologically highly sensitive.
What's in my opinion a problem with HS trains in Italy is the fact that they loose much time (and accumulate delays) exiting and entering the stations in bigger cities, crawling at pedestrian speed for kilometers before being allowed to accelerate. Years ago there was a joke: it takes a HS train about 1 and half hour to get from Florence to Rome: 1 hour to get to Settebagni (where the HS line ends) and half an hour to Roma Termini (just a few km away). And it wasn't far away from the truth.
It's not an easy problem to fix though is it 🤷🏻♂️🇮🇹
The cost of being railway pioneers! We Brits know all about that 😅
The whole HS underpass project has been recently restarted. It will consist of a 8-km tunnel beneath the current tracks, with an operating speed of 100 kph. A new underground passthrough station, Firenze Belfiore, will service high speed trains, very much like the HS Bologna station.
The project is scheduled to be put into full service by the end of 2028.
@@maxart3392 There are plans for new passthrough stations at Florence, Rome and Naples, similar to the station in Bologna. When these are eventually built they could potentially shave alot of time off the Milan - Salerno route.
When I travel between Milano/Firenze/Roma I reserve on Frecciarossa Executive Class. I ❤️ the soft plush yellow leather seats. Also the tasty at your seat meal service … granted haven’t been on it because of Covid but have plans to do so this summer. I think it’s waaay better than Italo. Did use Italo once just to compare and went right back to reserving only Frecciarossa Executive Class. 😉👍🏻
Yeah I agree Rob, I will do a full Frecciarossa executive review soon ☺️🇮🇹
Stunning video and well-mentioned sub titles, hats off to u....!
Thank you 😊
The entertainment system makes the difference, and speed of course. Thanks for the experience.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Fabulous, the only way to go, it’s on my list!
Oh absolutely 😊
Italo's trains were designed and built at the Alstom production site in Savigliano, in the province of Cuneo ITALY , a center of excellence in the production of high-speed trains and an excellent example of a state-of-the-art factory that has been able to renew itself over time.
In addition to Savigliano, the other Alstom sites involved in the production of the Pendolino Italo are that of Sesto San Giovanni in the Milanese area, that of Bologna and the depot of Nola, in the province of Naples. Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance will also be carried out on these new vehicles in Nola for the next thirty years.
The French bought the company that built all types of ITALO trains from Fiat FERROVIARIA (historic Italian train production center, here they invented the PENDOLINO trains).
Let's just say Italian trains aren't exactly known for their build quality 🙄
@@NonstopEurotrip how can you say that? Please don't share misinformation!
@@NonstopEurotrip Like British cars? 🤣
@@alessandropompa Italian trains are NOT known for their quality in Europe and the world lol..... In Denmark we have had to scrap most of the trains we bought from Italy, because of the poor quality, and now they already bought new trains, starting from 2024, from France this time lol. Even though the last train delivered from Italy was in 2013, so they've only lasted 11 years.... and with a lot of problems and repairs. Buying Italian trains almost bankrupted our the national train operator /company, DSB. And we're far from the only country that have had problems with italian trains
@@jacobmeldgaard4050 you forgot to mention the mafia and the pizza to be really complete
Beautiful ❤ the front nose looks like the front of the Ferrari Enzo. And in red paint too! Lovely Italian countryside views thank you.
The guy that started Italo Company has been the DA of Ferrari for many years...
It is beautiful, yes! 🥰
Fantastic Report, Congrats!
Hi friends, yes we used Italo Treno in 2017 from Rome to Florence's Santa Maria Novela Station and back to Rome. A few days later Rome to Venice. Also a couple days after from Venice to Milano Centrale in the Flechiarosa. Great moments in such a beautiful trains. Hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina 👍♥️
Excellent 👌🏻 great trips 😊
Seems like a very quiet train (at least until it hit supersonic speeds!) with an enviably smooth ride.
Beautiful trains 😻
Beautiful video... sure a comfortable trip!
Absolutely 🤗
Fantastic page you have here. Soo lively its like we board the train with you. Bravo.
Thanks! Watch my other vids too 😃
5:20- I wish that this was here in Canada travelling on The Corridor between Windsor, Ontario and Quebec City, Quebec.
Would be pretty amazing right 👍🏻
@@NonstopEurotrip, it would indeed.
We are supposed to be getting that within the next few years (I’m in London Ontario)
Bella Italia, viva l'Italia🇮🇹🍷🌹
Grazie 🙏🏻
I love it. We took this train from Rome to Firenze.
Il est superbe , ôn dirait le train à grande vitesse japonais .une merveille
Just as good!!
Nice trip report.
Thanks Eric ☺️
The steam loco stationed at Milan Centrale is a FS Gruppo 640, the second fastest steam locomotive class in Italy (fastest ones being the 685s at 120 km/h cruise speed); the one in Centrale is obviously for exposition only, but there a few still in working condition pulling the occasional steam powered historical train around Italy. Not as many or as well advertised as the UK's, but nice to check if someone's interested.
Thanks for the Information 😊 I've been past it so many times and never knew 🤣
The fastest were the 691 (130 Km/h)
Really wonderful pictures
Took Freccia Rossa in 2018 business class and it was awesome. Lots of room and super smooth, you could hold your drink while walking in the aisle and not spill it. Wi-fi and comps very good. Planning to do it again this year. BTW great vid little noise and subs are great. Cheers
So cool! Italy knows how to do fast trains well 😃
Muy lindo trenes me gustaría conocerlos yo viaje en el A.V.E. de Madrid a Barcelona y lo veo muy parecido
In Romania our trains take 4 to 6 hours for a 200 km trip, from Cluj-Napoca to Sibiu.
Have ridden train from Florence to Milan in Executive class and was impressed with the carriage and service. We had wine and sandwiches served by an attendant. We had all the facilities at the seat including the computer screen. I think it was a Fiacco! We did not go through any tunnels on our journey from Florence to Milan. Thank you I enjoyed your video.
They're excellent 🙂 If you went on a highspeed train you definitely went through lots of tunnels unless it was a long time ago!
We will be taking this train in May, so thanks for very helpful info
You're welcome ☺️
@18:11. I can't believe that a train can go 342 miles per hour. Amazing.
Km per hour.
@@fabriziocoppola6519 Yes. I made a mistake.
The italian high speed rail network allows a maximum speed of 300 km/h ( Milan to Florence section , Rome to Naples section , Milan to Turin section , Milan to Brescia section . This in 2024 ) . Trains are technically capable to reach 360 km/h , but technical issues related to the infrastructure don' t permit commercial service with this parameter . In a brief future , new sections of high speed network will be opened ( Brescia to Verona and then Venice , Naples to Bari , Milan to Genova ) .Welcome to Italy enjoy your trip and don' t forget to travel on secondary railways ( less famous but immerged in marvelous landscapes , like Siena Asciano Monte Antico railway , Porretta Terme to Pistoia railway , Circumetnea railway , Transiberiana d'italia railway , Pustertalbahn , Trento Mezzana and many many others )
I noticed when I'm in Italy that the rails are painted white on their sides. I did a little research as it's to keep the rails from overheating in the sun since they're welded and can't expand at normal joints. It seems to reduce rail temps by -7C.
Indeed yes!
I was wondering why they were white
Amazing! Thank you 🙏❤️
We rode on this or a similar train from Naples to Venice. It was everything you said and more! Thanks for sharing!
😍😍😍
Just spectacular and such Italian style! Love your videos! Just curious about the music at the start of the video? I loved it! Any info on the song (title/artist?). Keep up the great work!
Glad you liked it! The music is off the TH-cam library, but can't remember the name as I'm currently travelling and it's all on my PC at home! Comment again in a. Couple of weeks and I'll let you know 😊
fun fact ... this train could go faster, but... we have to update the tracks for that LOL - I noticed there is a project ready to entirely re-do the Rome-Florence tracks for such a fast train. I think it could run at 330 or 340 Km/h - I can't wait
That's be good!
Thanks, excelent video.
Was on the Milan to Rome run a couple of weeks ago, it is fast and smooth.
I have travelled on Italo a few times. The first time was back in 2012 when it was still avoiding Roma Termini but was departing from Roma Ostiense (then discontinued). But I've also used it between Bologna, Milan, and Turin a few times, only being delayed once due to an SCMT fault in Florence.
By the way, the only high speed trains that call at Bologna Centrale but do not stop at the High Speed station are the Frecciarossa, Italo, and Frecciargento trains to Ancona, Pescara, Bari, and Lecce
Ah thank you! Very jealous of your network and trains 🙂🇮🇹
Beautiful train, excellent seats, first class entertainment console. But how can a top class luxury ticket only have a light snack and the ability to buy food from a vending machine? It's not a terribly long trip but there should be something better than that. Nicely presented video.
True yes, but it's not as expensive as the Frecciarossa executive, which does have full service. Still good though 🙂
5:02-I can't make up my mind, both of them are so good looking and offer great speed _and_ great service.
That's the dilemma 🤣
awesome journey. really enjoyed the video.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Another trip to add to my ever-growing list! Think Milan Centrale is slightly better than Rome in terms of, well, everything really 🤣 looks a fantastic train, though I may have to settle for standard class (being the cheapskate I am) 👍
Go on Mark, Splash out on executive 😍
Milan centrale is an Italian joke - - 3 years of refurbishment /modernisation millions of €€€€€spent in the process, just look up at the rusty broken glass ceiling. What a shame it wasnt refreshed/ painted/glass repaired. The marble giant stairs are dull, give a cold feeling, some add colours would do
Beautiful train. I have travelled on a few of the European premium class trains several years ago. It looks like they have really come a long way since then. Bravo to the Italians. I wish the Americans, who think everything they have is the best , would open their eyes to the rest of the world.
Oh yes, Europe is still light years ahead of America. These are especially good 👍🏻
@John, the Americans already have Acela, are working on building HSR in California, and a private firm, Texas Central, is working on building HSR in Texas between Houston, Dallas, and a few other cities in the state (there's also HSR projects in a few other states as well, some of them private endeavours.) Your blasting of the United States for not having HSR across all of it is counterproductive at best, and arrogance at worst that comes close to what people in Europe called 'ugly Americanism' when practiced by American tourist vacationing in Italy and in the rest of the European continent in the past, and it also does nothing but bolster the anti-HSR mindset among most Americans. that prevents HSR from being accepted and also causes problems for those building HSR in California and Texas.
Oh this is fantastic !! A video I was looking for !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Enjoy!
Hello ! Je vous remercie pour cette belle vidéo. J'ai voyagé avec ma sœur à Roma Termini il y a 45 ans. Cela a bien changé.
I took Italo train from Roma Termini to Napoli Central ( train 8903) on 06 Feb 2022, journey take normaly 1h13min, but our train was arrived with 25min delay ! .You can get a compensation only for late arrival if more than 60min after scheduled arrival time 😱😡 . Realy they have to see what AVE Renfe are doing for a good customer service .😏
Yeah exactly, a full refund from Renfe! 🥰
I would prefer FrecciaRossa. But about the price, I would preffer Italo :)
I agree 😂
Another great video and trip thanks 😊
Thanks 🙏🏻
Looks amazing!
Definitely 🥰
So the Italians dont only make decent Spagehtti and Coffee, they actually have a solid train System. Didnt expect that. GG
True 😊
Italy is the second industrial and manufacturing power in Europe after Germany! many things about Italy are not told
We were the first in the world building high speed trains.😊
Italian high speed trains are certainly more stylish compared to those in the U.K.
That's not difficult though 🤣
@@NonstopEurotrip given that most of it is now based upon the Hitachi A train platform that’s a given!
I`ve been traveling by plane, bus ,car but never had been traveling with high speed train this gives me an idea to go to Italy Milano and then by train to Rome its good idea and I see its very interesting and along way thanks for this very much!
You should! 😀
