Bologna train to Roma

I'm working with my sister planning schedules for her upcoming trip, and have been suprised to see Trenitalia's website showing only one train from Bologna to Roma on a Saturday = and that one at 5:15. This seems unlikely - the train goes through Firenze and the site also shows that as the only train from there to Roma.

Similarly, showing only one, early-morning train from Milano to Roma.

Does this seem likely, or like a technical problem on the site?

BTW, I've tried changing the "departure time" request, and come up with the same results. It hardly seems possible that one train could accommodate the traffic between Italy's two major cities (milan/rome), even on Saturday. The Friday schedule shows a second train, at 5:45, and no more.

You're probably trying a date after June 12. Schedules change then, but not by much. Use a date on the same day of the week for planning purposes.

thaks, Zerlina. You are correct. (June 19 is the date)
Also, looking at the arrivals and departures page on the Trenitalia site, I see three trains Bologna-to-Roma in the next hour ...

Yes, that must explain it - on Saturday June 5 there seem to be trains every 20 minutes or better.
