    When you take a trip in Europe like this, you should decide yourself: Do I want to travel fast, or do I want to travel scenic but slow routes. What you presented, is a mix of both.
    The fast trains from zurich to milano go by tunnel and are a lot quicker then your route.
    One problem in Paris is the missing central station for all trains in all directions. You have to use the Paris metro to change from your arrival TGV station to the next departure station. That cost quite a bit of time.
    In London they solved this problem very good and changed the ending of the Eurostar line from Waterloo international to St.Pancras station in the nothern part of the city. So yoe can skip the London tube, when your heading to Edinburgh or Birmingham.

    Reminds me travelling to Italy every summer as a child by train, this was before the Eurostar. We went from London Victoria to Dover then Dover to Calais. At Calais we then got the train to Paris Gard du Nord then a taxi to Paris Gard du Sud. It was then one train from Gard du Sud overnight to Milano. Sleeping in the train at night as a child was an adventure in itself.

      "Paris Gard du Sud" You mean Gare de Lyon, perhaps look it up. There is a Gare (note spelling) du Sud but it' was in Nice before it was converted to a food market.

    • @SteveInskip
      @SteveInskip 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, we used to do that in the ‘60’s but they used split trains a lot in those days and we went from Calais through Paris to Zurich, changed early morning to Milan then changed for Bologna and finally an extremely slow train (with park benches for seats) to Rimini. Another option was Ostend to Bern via Luxembourg then change for Milan etc.

    I live north of Venice in Pordenone and have been to Venice, what? a +100 times? Still, when I emerge from Santa Lucia and there is Canal Grande only one word in Italian for La Serenissima and that is: "Mozzafiato". Every time even for me. Venezia is indeed Unica. Viva L'Italia.

    This was such a treat for me to see. In 1969 I spent June, July, and August
    in Europe. Of course, we crossed the Channel by ship and went on to Paris for 3
    and a half weeks. Then Montreux for 5 days after which we took the train from
    Zurich to Rome, stopping in Milan. Thank you for this.

    Currently (September 2023) the railway and motorway leading to the Frejus tunnels are interrupted on French territory. There are kilometre-long queues at the Mont Blanc road tunnel and the Gotthard base railway tunnel is still closed following the derailment. Maybe crossing the Bernina pass isn't such a bad idea.

    The easiest one but most expensive because of the eurostar cost. the eurostar from London to Paris and then the TGV Paris to Milan, then Frecciarossa or Italo from Milan to Rome.
    Used to be a night train from Paris to Venice and stops in Milan but not anymore.

    The longest east-west high-speed railway line in China is the Xuzhou-Xinjiang Railway Line, which is 3,176 kilometers long and requires a transfer in Lanzhou, which is equivalent to traveling from the easternmost to the westernmost part of China. The longest north-south high-speed railway line is the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway Line, which is 2,298 kilometers long and does not require a transfer. The entire line operates at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and takes only 7 hours and 16 minutes.

    During the summer, a RhB bus, which awaits the Bernina Express, connects the railway station called Tirano RhB (although it is in Italy it is considered Swiss territory) with the Lugano railway station. The route is included in the Swiss Travel Pass, Eurail Pass and similar. Only seat reservation is not included.

      Tirano is a FREE ZONE within Italy, governed by italy

      ​@@rob5197I was referring, as I wrote, to the Tirano station of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It is no coincidence that to access it you have to pass through the post (office) of the Customs Agency, as happens to access the platform of the legendary Baden station in Basel. It is no coincidence that tickets and souvenirs sold at the counter are subject to Swiss VAT and if you send luggage from Switzerland (for example from Thusis to Tirano RhB) you will not be given the appropriate customs declaration form. Even any idiot from Milan knows well that Tirano is in Italy (Lombardy).

      ​@@rob5197Buongiorno sig. Lupi,
      la stazione di Tirano RhB è su territorio italiano ma a tutti gli effetti una stazione Svizzera. Ogni biglietto emesso così come i souvenir venduti allo sportello sono soggetti all’IVA Svizzera. È esattamente come acquistare qualcosa alla stazione di St.Moritz.
      Spedendo il bagaglio dalla Svizzera a Tirano RhB in realtà è come spedire il bagaglio internamente e quindi non è soggetto a dichiarazione doganale. Chiaramente sia la Dogana Svizzera di Campocologno, sia la Dogana italiana a Tirano hanno l’autorità per procedere ad un controllo del contenuto della spedizione.
      Cordialmente

    No Frecciarossa and TGV between Milan and Paris for a year
    The effect of the closure of the Frejus line is easily verifiable: to go by train from Italy to France the only solutions that can be purchased involve travel times of almost a day given that the usable itineraries are limited to those of the Ventimiglia crossing and those with Austria and Switzerland.
    So the blockade of Tgv and Frecciarossa, as well as the 170 weekly freight trains that were active on the historic Frejus line, are added to the expected closure of the Mont Blanc motorway tunnel from 16 October to 18 December.
    If it is easy to foresee serious repercussions for the territory, with a notable increase in road transport and consequent traffic congestion on the Alpine motorways, it is the president of the Italian Road Transport Federation Paolo Uggè, who raises the alarm on the risk of isolation for the 'Italy with serious repercussions for the economy. In fact, our country finds itself increasingly isolated from the rest of the continent.

      ​@@roger0929what? Also the Frejus railway is closed because of a landslide on the french side but insthead of fixing it they are waiting. Luckly in the future (2032) a 57km tunnel (longest in the world but Italy is also Building a 60km One with Austria) will avoid these problems and will shorten Milan-Paris time for both passengers and freight, also the tunnel will be very low on sea level so freight will use less energy and pollute less

    6:43 This is the exact spot you crossed the border !
    Mulhouse-Basel is my commuter line…
    At Hubs like Basel, Zürich or Chur trains arrive around the same time and leave around the same time 5-10 minutes later to enable short transfer times.
    All sorts of transport are included in corresponding timetables across the whole nation…
    P.S.: I hate what Venice has become since the 1990’s…
    I worked in the 80’s in a dining car between Basel and Venice with a 22 hour overnight stay - I know every single pathway in the city and surrounding islands. I’m so sad .

    • @Luigi-uj5ml
      @Luigi-uj5ml ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is curious that between Basel SNCF and the border the trains keep right hand as in Alsace, but that the Swiss signals are placed to the left of the track they control, as happens in the rest of the Swiss federal railway network! Probably here in Italy such a situation would not be allowed. What was the name of the train connecting Basel to Venice and which included the restaurant car where you worked? Was it an Italian dining car? I used the one that traveled as part of the train from Rome Termini to Basel SBB via Gottardo. Have you met the legendary Tempini of the equally legendary SSG? He filled glasses with Kirsch from Zug from a height of one metre!

    • @aoilpe
      @aoilpe ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@Luigi-uj5ml
      The signals are on both sides of the track because trains are able to use both sides equally in both directions, like the most SBB lines too.
      I was employed by the SSG from Basel via Bern- Brig- Milano- Padova- V-Mestre- V-Sta. Lucia with a 22 hour stay in Venice.
      “We are arriving at Milano-Centrale , please make sure you stay with your belongings during the whole time of our stop!”
      No,I never met him. I knew some others who did it with Grappa in the Glacier Express…with the beveled glasses.

      ​@@aoilpeCertainly, but if you pay attention, along the route between Basel (Gare de Bâle SNCF) and the border, the Swiss signals have been placed to the left of the track they control, while in Alsace the SNCF signals are normally to the right of the right track .
