PAGING RAIL EXPERTS!!!
 

can anyone tell me if i can buy rail tix from paris to rome on trenitalia.com and then print them off?

That's a good question. When we were in Italy, trenitalia.com wouldn't let us buy tickets from Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, to Nice, France. I wonder if there's a problem when you cross a border? Maybe try budgeteuropetravel.com. If you call them, they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

it;s annoying me cos i saw a fare tp rome from paris in a first class sleeper for two for 75 euro which is great if only i could buy it. will tey ur advice maureen. thanks.

Not if the item in the far right column, under Acquista, says No.

Some Paris-Rome trains you can book on www.voyages-sncf.fr, for example the 19:06 night train from Paris-Bercy to Rome (Termini), I'm looking at €80 "Départ" or €130 "Flexi 1" - leave the country of delivery at France and proceed, then print out the website pages and the email confirmation and go to a long-distance window at a French station, show the identical credit card you used when booking online (important!), and get your ticket.

BTW - what I'm looking at is a dummy date of Monday July 17 (since I didn't know your date).

i should have been clearer actually. my problem isn't buying them. i think the site will let me pay for them but my problem is how do i get them? on the site my only options are collection in italy or postage to an address in italy. arghhhh

thanks Wally but my query was more to do with trenitalia.com. i know i can buy from sncf.com but i was getting a better offer on trenitalia and wanted to take that one. might try buying over the phone in the morning. otherwise i suppose i'll have to use sncf. thanks anyway.

You double-posted - read my reply to your other post.
