Train Schedules
 
Does anyone know a good internet site to locate train schedules? I'll be traveling all over Italy (Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice, Milan) in the 2nd half of Nov and need to get a good idea of travel times.

Actually, the new and more direct web address is www.trenitalia.it <BR> <BR>They've changed the name of the company, at least unofficially, to Trenitalia as well. <BR> <BR>twenj

Brian <BR> <BR>Go to www.trenitalia.com. for schedules To determine if one of the rail passes would be a better buy for your itinerary, go to www.railsaver.com, but realize their business is to sell passes, so take the results with a grain of salt. <BR> <BR>Buon viaggio

Brian: This is from a past post with alittle more detail of the Trenitalia website. HTH Regards, Walter <BR>"Go to www.trenitalia.com/ click-on "English", (Also later check-out the other click-ons "Agencies, Special Offers, On Line Ticket Office etc) Now type-in your 2 cities (In English), type-in your "dates & time" and then click-on "Search". <BR> Once in the timetables to find the fares and connection info, to the left of your train under the "Select" column either click-on the train's # (1,2,3,...) or the "red square/triangle". If your fare *isn't* listed go to the bottom of that page click-on "Fares" and the next page under "Seats Number" type-in number of seats you want *most likely* next to the "Standard Fare" line. Choose "seat reservations" and your "Class" (1st/2nd) if they are options and click-on "Fares". I haven't done it but you can now buy your tickets on-line directly thru their website. &lt;&lt;&lt;Now _sometimes_ only with the *smaller* cities/towns, when you click-on "Search" it brings you to another option where either or both the "Arrival" or "Departure" stations has a "pull-down" of 2 or more choices of stations, *there is a glitch here* and you will just go around it circles unable to choose one, you will keep getting a "pop-up" on screen. So just choose your station and hit the back button and start your search again but this time *type-in* the specific station name. Example: Verona will give you 3 different stations just go back and type-in (in my case) Verona Porta Nuova&gt;&gt;&gt;. <BR> <BR>
