worth mentioning that florence will soon have a highspeed only station like the underground one in bologna, which will cut travel time by around 15 mins by avoiding urban/regional train traffic
But Santa Maria Novella or another new one?
@@juanmcm it will be completely new, from my understanding not under SMN
it is being built at Campo di Marte, so that HSTs can bypass SMN and increase capacity for regional services across Tuscany. @@juanmcm
@@juanmcmAnother one. Close to SMN. It would be 1km away on the west side of the rails (on the left side as seen while departing from SMN). The HSR line will stay underground between the stations of Firenze Campo di Marte and Firenze Castello.
So I (Living in Bologna original of Florence)‘ll be able to be in Florence in 15 minutes, wow
Italy makes amazing Train. Love it ❤❤❤
20 years ago, when I was a student/early in career and I was using regularly the trains to go to work/university, trenitalia was a nightmare, both for the trains and the organization (delays, super old trains, not clean at all, etc). I then moved abroad so I stopped using the italian trains. Few weeks back, I had a trip to Italy and I was nicely surprised to see that the situation improved A LOT. To be honest I had no complains at all, and all journeys by train have been great! Thumbs up to Italy!
Used trains on all my trips to Italy (2017, 2019, 2022). It was super efficient and a nice experience.
This is Italian dominion: high level engineering also for long tunnels from Florence to Bologna, 400kmh trains..I'm sorry for Great Britain: only money laundering: mafias from all over the world, dictators, tax evaders, now London ago in the light of day, you gave Chelsea to a mafioso. The Emilios own you. london grad, london Sicily. What a bad end you have come to
I took this exact route in business class, it was so cool to see the European countryside whisk by. Definitely made for an epic experience as a train enthusiast
I went by train from Venice when I visited Ferrara a few years ago. It is a lovely place dominated by a castle, but spoilt by having a McDonalds right by the cathedral. There is a walk of about 10 minutes from the station.
I'm flying to bologna in may I want to revisit Ferrara which I first saw 50 years. ago and I remember it as one of the unknown secret provincial beauty of Italy - - my other long overdue wish since I read a la stamp article back in the 60s is visiting BRISIGHELLA - -
The new motto of Italy now is: "All the railways leads to Rome". 🤣🤣🤣

I use the Frecciarossa services often. Excellent quality, value and on-time performance. Seat and ride comfort in Business class is very good and a bargain for only a few euros more than Premium or Standard class many times. Italo is good too, however I use it less than Trenitalia.
I love the detail in this video.
Exceptional proficiency in pronouncing Italian words! Perfect "Santa Lucia". Only Venezia and Vagli need a bit of improvement. Bravissimo! from Rome
Nice !
Operated at max Speed of 350 km/h
Design top speed of 400km/h and tested at 393.km/h, as stated in the video
Sp cool of it actuallywent that fast
it doesnt. He's full of it. He even says 300K, not 400K
@@502RetailPartners design speed of 400km/h, which I repeatedly state in the video. Hardly see how I’m full of it for that.
Oh super! Up to now, I thought it was just up to me, the issues faced every time I had to disembark in Bologna Centrale and fighting for the way out or even to find out a toilet.
The italian train Frecciarossa is certainly suppossed to travel at 400 km/h!!!!! That's as fast as current chinese train and at the same time even faster than german or spanish fastest train!!!!! that's why I really appreciate traveling by train!🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆 I wish I travelled by Frecciarossa some day from Trieste to Turin for a holiday to Cervinia or Val Thorens, with taking flexi bus from Turin main railway station!
🚅 don't you all enjoy railroad
🚈 trams, trains etc are just so cool
🚞 take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 2 in my playlists) :)
I want to try the etr700, as it was kicked out of the Netherlands before being introduced in Italy
Certainly operates a lot better in Italy than it did in Benelux - definitely recommend!
Holland is an insignificant country compared to an Italy which has the 2ND industry, 2ND export, even in terms of dams it is superior to the small clog wearer and whores in the shop window: MOSE in VENICE...
Etr500 is way better
@@alessandroruggiero3892 yeah but I want the 700's for their role in dutch railway history
A me manca il settebello
I like the ETR1000, just nice trains to ride on, and it was a smooth ride on them, so ill be intrested to see how the HS2 Trains will compare to them, as it will be based off the same family (Zefiro 300) as the ETR1000
Salerno is down past Naples. That is a long trip.
I used this type of trains on the Bologna-Milan and the Rome-Bologna services too, as well as once between Padova and Bologna. Great services overall and their quiet coaches are amazing.
Italo in my opinion has better value for money and service offered, whilst Frecciarossa has better seats overall
I haven't travelled with Trenitalia yet, I have travelled with Italo and I liked it a lot.
What I missed was a cafeteria service on board.
It was a journey that I imagine was from Rome or Naples to Venice, but I went up in Florence to Santa Lucia and yes, I liked the scenery a lot and the service was good.
The vending machines are fine, but the offer was rather fair and they didn't have many products.
However, I like the idea that there is competition between Trenitalia and Italo and that is why I like that in my country there is Renfe, Trenitalia and also SNCF and it will make travelling by train something normal and everyday compared to the plane and it will improve competition and the main beneficiary will be the customer.
IMO trenitalia is far better. Their seats vary by train and when they swich trains it creates bedlam and a free for all for the seats. Trenitalia have loads of fare deals and you can travel in a higher class for less than basic fares at times if you book ahead.
The most incredible part of the italian HSR is the engineering challenge in relation to the orography. Italy is a dense populated country, long and narrow in shape with many high mountains, so two lines should carry a lot of trains (local passengers, HSR users and goods) using very long tunnels and high bridges. Those lines are thus heavily used over the whole day.
Indeed the train frequency is another noticeable aspect of the HSR service. In the north-south axe, there's one HS train every 15 minutes, like some metro service in huge metropolitan areas. That's sometimes the reason behind some occasional chain dalays that can easily reach 2 or more hours on the entire timetable.
IN general my most important aspects as traveller are the realiability of the service, the price, the quietness. Trenitalia AV is not cheap at all, unless you book some week in advance. Prices are designed to be competitive with airlines, not to be related to the company costs. The realiability is sometimes bad (5-10%) due the high congestion of the main lines. Sadly is not infrequent to find noisly passengers too.
But there are also very flat areas like Turino - Milano - Bologna where it is relatively easy to build a high-speed route.
@@gottfriedheumesser1994Yes but the main part of the italian economic mobility is on the north south direction, so the adverse orographic nature of the peninsula was a mandatory challenge.
@@tm8473 So I have to learn that there are very high mountains between Torino, Milano and Venezia.
@@gottfriedheumesser1994Just learn whatever you want!
@@gottfriedheumesser1994 start by learning where North, South, East, West are

Do you know when there will be trains running from Italy to the Netherlands?
no earlier than 2032 haha
Quite a number of years away I'm afraid given the trains aren't yet authorised there - will still be looking forward to when that happens!
The ETR1000 MS will be used by the trentitallia subsidiary Qbuzz. Qbuzz will run the ETR1000 on: Amsterdam-Paris, Amsterdam-Berlin, and Amsterdam-Frankfurt. They will start running the services in 2027-2028.
The Netherlands has a 1500V DC overhead lines train supply system that cannot meet high-speed trains' power requirements. Italy has changed from 3000V DC to 25kV AC for their high-speed lines. Their trains are built for both supply systems, so they can use old slow lines still equipped with 3000V DC with reduced speed.
@gottfriedheumesser1994 Yes, they can. We have Velaro's, TGV's, and more running in NL under 1500V DC at reduced speed. Multisystem trains work just fine under 1500V DC.
Can you do Penzance to Taunton please
New line Brescia verona will open in 2026
Verona Vicenza padova 2028
Naples bari 2027
Salerno reggio Calabria first 200km 2030
Genova tortona 2027 = tortona milan 2030
Verona Brennero 2032 +tunnel to austria
Bologna bari for now it is only a project.
New station and tunnel Florence =2028
Goodbye short haul air lines. ❤
Yes! From Milan to Rome city center to city center train is the best option.
Time is comparable, and sometime train is faster, while in term of comfort for price the train is another league from a low cost airline.
Puta Madre that's a nice train!
That's Spanish lol.
Miles? What's that?
50 euros for business is dirt cheap I would say.
I swear to god, at Bologna Centrale AV i needed 20 minutes to get out of there, i got an elevator and pressed level 0 (should be street level right?) NOPE, was an underground car park, i navigate it, i get inside another elevator and i press -1, yes, minus one. And from an underground car park i got to the street level. I... i dunno what the fuck happened, i taught i ended up in some "The Truman Show" typo of bullshit. Ive never set a foot again down there... 😂😂😂
Hi, I used to get lost there and has been tricked to pay 20€ to get a guy to take me from ground level to -4, seem there is no elevator go straight from level 0 to level -4
@@thangtrantoan4600 yeah u got scammed... im even italian so i asked people where to go! And like... not even them know how to get out of there 😂😂😂😂 Basically we should not get any elevators, but just use the mobile stairs, there is a track that leads to the exist a yellow line on the ground we should follow...
Call yourself lucky you were not required to change station to other parts of the city as would be the case in Paris
@@rob5197 Wait, paris main station is not near the actual city center? Here in italy every main city station is at the center of the city. Same for provinces, meanwhile city provinces can be relatively close... in my city even if is small, the station is just 2 km from the city center...
Around 2:52 sensitive English viewers should close their eyes to avoid the pesky EU flag.
As to the toilets, premium trains, premium cleanliness. I'm happy to see more European content
Every brits who voted for brexit should be banned from entering the continent of EUROPE - - let them enjoy the grim, awful depressing English weather
Not a patch on the built trains.
He was wrong when he said, as a classic Englishman jealous of Italian engineering and technological superiority, that the Ansaldo group only put the sticker on the finished train, alluding that they built it not in Italy...Hitachi Italy was born exclusively for the Italian capabilities in making trains , in Tuscany they are built and delivered immediately, YOU know the PENDOLINO, even the AVANTI GROUP in the UK still uses them: an Italian technology from 40 years ago. Those who bend in curves so to speak. Pendolino in the world was synonymous, until 10 years ago, with high-speed trains. Pendolino is an Italian name but, for example, in Australia, it is an example, LIKE PAPARAZZI...you English, you hate Italy so much because, feel inferior, and the ferocity of your propaganda, to destroy the image of the soldiers in WW2, fortunately the truth is coming out, when they lost the battles, the British said, often in agreement with former Nazis, that it was the Germans who beat you. Help yourself even from Hollywood you have cowardly destroyed thousands of dead Italians who fought, increasing the myth of Rommel. In Africa, the Italians without water and ammunition caused thousands of casualties to an army with 75mm, Italy had 35mm tanks that served as reminders to the sherman
Italy 🇮🇹 has trains German trains including ICEVare overpriced shit
There building a version of this for hs2
olso first comment but who actully cares at this point
mmmm
Business class speed is around 400kph while Economy class is barely above 300kph.
400 km/h ??? are u sure ??? That´s the max speed "by Design", it was only certified to a max speed of 360 Km/h... that is never reached in italian railways that "only" allow 300 km/h :P
Watch the video first, then speak
In Tuscany they are build, all, ANSALDO HAS ALWAYS CREATED AND HAS BEEN CREATING GREAT ENGINEERS, ANSALDO ENERGY HAS REMAINED ITALIAN BECAUSE IT IS STRATEGIC, IT BUILDS NUCLEAR REACTORS, TURBINES, ANSALDO BREDA IS HITACHI ITALY, ONLY THIS ACTIVITY makes HITACHI in Italy, learn how they are made trains by Italian engineers, England unfortunately does not have these capabilities, not to mention tunnels from Florence to Bologna, multi-storey stations, Italy is cut in two from north to south and to the north the Alps,
True
How much were you paid for this advertorial?
And how much were you paid for this pointless comment? Next
There is a faster way to get between Venice and Rome. It's called a plane. Even with getting to/ from the airport and security, it's still less than 4hrs
I'm not so sure flying would take 4 hours or less....first of all you have to get from the city center from the airport to and from. Then there is the security lines...also you have to arrive at least 30 minutes early for your flight. I think the train is faster, city center to city center.
@ringo7561 based on some calculations, it is possible to do it in 3 hours 15 minutes. And what about business people living in Venice needing to attend a full day of meetings in Rome or vice versa. That means being in Rome at 9am. And there is no train at 4.30am. But there are 6am flights
Imagine using a plane in such a distance, EU in the future might ban those short distance flights or might been killed by more frequent trains, as proven with Alitalia that been suffered frequent losses since many passengers switched into HSR before it was dissolved in 2021 (this is also combined with bad network planning and competition with Ryanair aka the hard landing airline) for ITA but even then
Assuming you have to travel between venice (where the closest not pedestrian only area is right next to the station) to the trevi fountain in rome (roughly the city centre) it takes exactly the same. 30 min to venice airport, 1h30 to wait for the flight, 1h (probably even 1h15) flight, 45 min by Leonardo express and subway. And that's if it all goes to plan....for a tourist the train is always going to be faster, cheaper, more practical and more relaxing, even if only half of the itinerary is on an actual high speed line. For an office worker flying might be marginally quicker, expecially if they have to get to areas of rome, such as the eur area, closer to the airport.
You're just a hater lmao
Sorry mate. A review is not a full review if you’re not having food . No one cares about the scenery. They want to know the seats service and food. Like an airline review not showing their meals.
Sorry mate. You must have not watched the full "review" as I did highlight the very small amount of food offerings provided in business class. You have problems with what was offered complain to Trenitalia.
I care!
The scenery is the main reason for being on a train - - who cares about food /drink for a journey that may take as little as 1 hour or 3 the longest
I want to try the etr700!
this train is 400km/h or 300？ Does this train feel smooth when riding? Still feel shaken
300. The ride is smooth on high speed rail, and less smooth on standard rail.
By less smooth I mean you can still have a glass of water on the table.
