UK'S GNER INVADES ITALY
UK'S GNER TO START ITALIAN SERVICE?
Uk train operator GNER, operator of many trains over the successful east coast mainline to Scotland has obtained a license to offer long-distance passenger service in Italy! Caio!

...but since GNER's sister company operates the Orient Express from Paris to Venice (and a pretty huge slice of all the world's luxury trains) already, they've already got the Italian for otherwise unheard phrases on Italian trains like "the wine on this train is interesting", "the attendant has prepared your compartment, sir" and "do you like your Martini stirred or shaken?"
GNER is, however, still struggling to understand common phrases on the Italian railway system which are virtually unheard in modern British companies.
Like "Sciopero".
