No plane needed, from city centre to city centre, no passport and luggage controls, no waiting lines, no cramped spaces, just enjoying the countryside and relaxing.
Not exactly true if you’re coming or going out of Ireland as you need to fly if you want to get to another city and I think it also applies in a way with travelling from Dublin
Yeah but still 7h is still worse than an hour flight, it would be different with a night train, you leave in the night and arrive early non the morning. I would prefer Trenitalia maintained Thello instead, made much more sense since it served all cities between Milan and Venice, instead of Milan only.
I live across the pond, so I'm not familiar with current availability - especially due to the "pandemic" - but aren't ferry services still available between Ireland and the British Isle?
@Niccolò Bonato yeah 7h is long but you are not counting the time off the plane. The time before and after the flight on the airport. And the time to travel from and to the airport cuz an airport doesn't lay in the city centre.
nah imo the inside looks kinda old but on the outside I once saw a frecciarossa in Paris Gare de Lyon and in the all around white TGVs it was just stunning 😊
Trenitalia definitely has an advantage with this service as they know how to compete. In Italy, NTV's Italo service has been keeping Trenitalia on their toes. Before that, they were your typical incumbent monopoly operator. The Frecciarossa service was always good, but with the advent of Italo, Trenitalia has had to step it up. It's a good time to be a European train traveler.
@@Daniele_Zanardini I live in Italy myself (been here for 17 years) and I have experienced the improvements. It sure makes the trip from Turin to Milan a lot better.
In fact, I prefer Italo and only travel with Italo. The trains are much more elegant and the service is top notch. I hope Italo will also be on route to Europe like Trenitalia.
I'm Italian and always look for rhe Italo train first when I have to travel high speed. The trains are better, the prices are often lower and the service is altogether very good. Ever since its introduction it's been a blessing
Bring the Frecciarossa to Germany, and show that Milan - Frankfurt - Copenhagen, Hamburg - Munich - Rome, Amsterdam - Munich - Venice, Berlin - Munich - Bologna via train, including meeting office and infrastucture, executive seating, and top-class services are much better than flying in a cramped airline seat, and waiting to board an aircraft. And it is much better for our climate! Keep growing the high-speed TEN infrastructure.
I mean if Germany started building on the Rhine corridor and the Munich-Austria corridor Italy and Germany would get much nearer. Meanwhile here in Italy nobody's even talking about building the Verona-Bolzano HS railway, but I hope that one day Munich will be only 3 hours away from where I live
@Giorgio Fegatini Except for the fact that 1)Frecciabianca don't travel at more than 200 kph 2) from Munich to Bologna there is no high speed lines and 3) probably the service included a lot of stops. Then again, already from the northernmost city of Southern Italy (Naples) to Munich there are 1000 km that even with the trains with the highest average speed in Europe would be covered in some 4 hours. Engineers, managers and planners already do not expect people to massively take a train for 3+ hours, imagine when it gets up to 4 in the best of cases.
@Giorgio Fegatini Missing piece is Brenner base tunnel. For ETR 1000 to run on DB OBB tracks it needs pzb lzb pantograph 1.95m metalized carbon under 15kv 16.7hz like the TGV. 1.45m copper Italy 3kv is safe on 15kv FFS 25kv SNCF but not DB OBB since it will not make contact with DB OBB 15kv wires
@@Hastdupech8509 the Brenner railway is currently upgraded with two new tracks on a new alignment that will allow for speeds up to 200-250km/h effectively quad tracking the route and this is being done alongside the construction of the Brenner base tunnel + the railway between Verona and bologna already allows for speeds up to 190-200km/h. If Germany and Austria get around to building fast route between Munich and Innsbruck then Munich-Bologna could be realistically done in 4h

I always use the Frecciarossa between Milan and Naples. It's exactly the same service. It's fast, comfortable and always on time. You can actually travel from Milan to Lecce (heal of the boot) on one single Frecciarossa journey. I recommend doing that...it's quite a journey!
you can also travel to the tip of the boot(reggio calabria) in one train from milan/ turin/venice and is also a bit faster beacause it travels on the high speed lines until naples(passing by bologna, florence and rome)
Once the Turin - Lyon high speed rail will be completed we will be able to travel between Milan and Paris in 4h. That for sure will make the train much more competitive.

I had the chance to travel in Executive on a Frecciarossa service before and I must say that in my opinion it's the best High speed rail service currently available in Europe.
True... If you think that the first Railway ever in the world was built in Naples, Italy, you can easily figure out how much Italy is cutting edge in this sector
These videos bring back some great memories of when I was a child and going to Sicily on a family holiday.In them days you could catch a train from Calais that would go right through to Palermo without changing. If you was unlucky you would have to change at Milan. The scenic routes through Switzerland were just simply stunning, and back then the 70`s most of the trains did not have sleepers. To get from London to Palermo took 3 days and 2 nights. Wonderful memories and wonderful trips.
@@Nicknock2504 Frecciarossa is not equivalent to Trenitalia: Frecciarossa is a limited, expensive service, that in many cases substitute the almost fast-as but less expensives IC, and it has never to do with the regional and interregional service that is usually not good at all.

The big level-up for the high-speed trains in Italy happened when the private competition came to the market with the Italo trains ; before that the HS trains were similar to the TGV. The most valuable thing of these trains it the quiteness during the trip, compared to the constant rumbling of the planes; that makes even a 7hr trip very relaxing. In italy it actually disrupted the Rome-Milan flight line,now the HS trains are much preferred on that route.
I have used the Florence Rome trip twice. And Florence Venice twice. Even to Bologna it outpaces the car already by half an hour. Sure the infrastructure is expensive but so is the highway alongside it. Italy got this right. Politically not much else though.
True luxury!! The seat!! The exquisite food!! The attendant!! High speed!! Beautiful scenery in spite of gloomy start!! Thank you Thibault for sharing with us😀😀♥️♥️🎄🎄

Having an incredible experience on this magnificent train so far. Atmosphere is very relaxing, seats are nice and comfy with lots of legroom, snacks are really tasty. Staff is really nice. Great opportunity to get some sleep as it is very quiet here in this section of the train. No complaints so far.

I’ve traveled many times in Executive Class between Milano and Firenze; Milano and Roma. It is simply THE BEST! There’s nothing else like it. Glad for this additional service/route so if the occasion arises I, without hesitation, will be onboard in Executive Class. Good luck SCNF … you’re going to need it! 😉
I could not agree more, i've traveled many times between Venice and Rome, comparing that with SCNF on the Paris - Avignon is night and day. I love Italy, I love that the people manage to function in a most dysfunctional way, but the trains, only the Japanese do it better, but even then, the Italians do it with more style.
The SNCF knows to optimise costs. Trenitalia trains won’t be competitive because the train capacity is 40% more important in a TGV than in Ferriorossa with less employees. SNCF is profitable with Ouigo trains with Paris Lyon at 15 €. Now Treinitalia enjoys a 30% discount for their fees using the hush. Speed lines during the first 3 years. Then they will have to fight SNCF with less cost and SNCF come back in 2024 with new trains with even more capacity
@@lvthud You don't know what you say. France is as well absolutely best when it comes to train. So many cities are on the way of a TGV, TER, RER in Paris... You compare what is not comparable. People don't choose SNCF to get the confort you see in this video, they take it for vacation when it's cheaper than the plane. Italy is not better, Italy is proposing an other offer that matches more the needs of business people going back anf forth between Paris and Lyon. So on this line yes, Italy wins. Sorry Dave.
@@lc5698 that's your opinion, mine is that the Italian high speed system is, more comfortable, more reliable, less prone to strikes and the food is far better.
A very minor correction: while the first production run of the Frecciarossa ran from 2013 to 2017, last year Trenitalia ordered two more production runs: 19 to cover future Italian and French operations and 23 to cover the 2022 entry on the Spanish high speed railways. Therefore, new Frecciarossa 1000 trains are currently being built again.
Very proud of my home country dear Thibaut: Frecciarossa 1000 is truly a wonderful train and one of the best in Europe. The opening of the Paris route is really a blast. The service in executive is a dream! I wasn’t expecting such quality. Thank you for the trip, great video as usual. Ciao da Milano.

I don’t think that would be implemented though. It sounds nice, but it would take 4 hours to Paris and then 3 more to London. That’s a bit of an overkill…
@@Namuchat The EU is mostly ruled by national parliaments. The power of EU lawmakers or bureaucrats was always exaggerated and the things Brits complained about were supported by British politicians (or were wholly their choice, like allowing workers from Poland several years before the rest of the EU did).
Omg you were on those trains? They got quite a resonance here in Italy. Anyway, I think Trenitalia will remove those cool stickers from the windows since they were all about celebrating European cohesion Italian-French cooperation and friendship and blablabla, but they'll be gone as soon as the hype goes down and this services become normal. Anyway, it's delizioso, delicioso is our Spanish friends' property🙃. Great trip and great report, unluckily it's a long ride, but with the Frejus base tunnel on the Turin-Lyon HS line travel times will get 2.30 hours shorter. From under Milan's duomo to Paris' Notre Dame in 4 hours, what a time to be alive, weren't it for NO-TAV in Susa Valley that have opposed the project for 20 years, though we're starting to see a renewed greater will to finish this project.
totally agree, Frecciarossa Executive class is the best in Europe. We had the coach to ourselves on a short trip between Firenze & Venice, and it was hands down the best rail experience in all of our European travels. What Italy may lack in other areas, they utterly smash in Executive class Frecciarossa.
Yes there are, but first the Lyon Turin part of the high speed railway must be completed, it will approximately take round 6 hours to travel from Milan to Barcelona, while 4.5 hours from Milan to Paris
Thanks for this very detailed and informative video. I took the TGV from Paris to Turin in 2015, Frecciarossa to Milan and finally Frecciabianca to Venice. I travelled back the same way. I agree with everything you say about Frecciarossa. I only spent a total of 2 hours in standard (economy) class, but it knocked spots off anything we have in the UK. I shall definitely be giving FR a go the next time I visit Northern Italy!
Gorgeous report! I almost never watch train trip reports but this one popped up in my mostly aviation focused feed, and boy I enjoyed it. Very immersive, I think it's the word.
@@ds1868 Untrue. Just look at the new Hitachi trains now in service with GWR, LNER, TPE, Hull Trains. Remember that Eurostar is not a UK train ! It's international and majority owned by SNCF.
In Australia, in the 80s, a great deal of work was done to plan a high-speed line between Melbourne and Sydney via Canberra. Journey time was around three hours. Surveys were done on many aspects, including the environmental effects and on the consideration of Indigenous heritage sensitivities. All was looking good until the Hawke government refused a quite reasonable tax concession (despite its sunset clause) and the project was killed, stone dead. I still have the book outlining the project, with tables, illustrations, etc..
La prima volta che sono salito su questo treno ad alta velocità è stato nel 2017 da Milano a Torino, era la mia prima volta su un treno che viaggiava a 300 km/h. È stata una bella esperienza, mi piacerebbe che un giorno anche nel mio paese il Perù ci fosse questo tipo di trasporto ferroviario. Un saluto da Torino Italia.
Great video Thibault, thank you. We travelled on the TGV Paris-Milan service a few years ago in first class and were rather disappointed. It didn't help that we also had to change trains unexpectedly in Chambery (it was a few days after an SNCF train crew industrial dispute and rolling stock was not where it was supposed to be - at least that was their explanation). It's fantastic to see the Frecciarossa going into true competition with the TGV service. I thought the rail fare was excellent value for money. We look forward to doing that journey again sometime in the future - and we'll definitely choose the Frecciarossa. Just hope by then they've removed that awful window wraparound as it definitely spoils what are excellent scenic views.
The fact that Europe is increasingly "banning" cars and investing in bicycles and public transport is great. Europe is building a renewable future. Big respect 👏👏👏
I was picturing the footage I've seen from Japan where there's guys employed to cram crowds of people into the doors, now I'm thinking of the Indian footage I've seen too lol
I love this frecciarossa I have travelled on it a few times from Milan to Rome but always in standard class I hope in the near future there will be frecciarossa services to other European countries
I m French and I prefer the Frecciarossa 👍 Itd a good competition as you said and Tgv has to quickly improve if not they ll lose a looot of clients, thats for sure ! The Executive is fantastic, I ll book it in the future
I am sure the Executive class is very comfortable, but regarding "lots of clients", you must take into account that not many people can afford to take Business or Executive class (unless it is a business trip and your boss pays for it :-). This is reflected by the fact that only 8 seats are in the Executive class coach. You just cannot build a train only consisting of Executive class seats and run it economically. But we will see how the market develops. In Spain, people are more used to comfort than in France, but the inexpensive services like OuiGo and Avlo have started running last year anyway, so there is a market for a range of different classes in high speed trains.
I take the frecciarossa every year from Florence to Rosarno (Calabria), and it's a 6 hour journey. If you're going solo the best experience comes surely from Executive but the best value I'd recommend is business. Also bc Executive tends to be the most empty and on a normal frecciarossa also kind of felt lonely to me
J'ai eu ton livre en cadeau. On me l'a offert juste parcque j'aime les trains. Je ne savais pas que tu avais sorti un livre jusqu'à ce que je vois la page avant propos et j'ai été étonné de voir que c'était toi ! Je vais savourer ton livre et regarder les reviews vidéos en même temps 👍🏼. Merci à toi pour ton travail.
I would assume in the next year an E (for Spain) would joint those I and F in the ETR 1000 Frecciarossa. With the start for the service to Paris Trenitalia announced plans to put a Frecciarossa 1000 direct trip to Barcelona (no direct train between the two cities since the supression of the sleeper Trenhotel Salvador Dali). Two possibilities are being studied for the french part, one is via Grenoble and Valence (faster) and the other is going via the coastal line to Nice (this would cover the Thello service stopped from the first global lock-down). Also, Trenitalia subsidiary in Spain, Ilsa, has started trials and homologation for new Zefiros, classed as Serie 109 in Spain. They will start with services in Spain, plans are to reach France and Italy later. The commercial brand will be Iryo and the only doubt is how many levels of service will be offered, because the total number of seating is slighty different between the ETR 1000's and the new S-109's.
I used to travel between Paris and Frankfurt/Main (Germany) using both german ICE and french TGV high speed trains (codeshare). Only in 1st class. The WiFi in TGV was almost always instable/not working, which made me creazy on business trips. Same last month again from Paris to Lille in a TGV 1st class. I'm happy that SNCF (Heaven for trade unions, Hell for customers) is becoming challenged by foreign companies. Next time on Paris-Lyon will certainly be using this Trenitalia service.
Yeah, because the French rail unions don't want to lose the privileges of one of the biggest salary and retirement received in France (they are better paid than the nurses in France...), they won after 10 years in the service more than 3500€ PER MONTH!!! And in the retirement, they receive 3000€, continue to travel with the family for free and continue to have access to the French Rail health system medicare... In the meantime, other employment sectors will never get those kind of privileges... And many, with the current retirement system, will never get more than 1100€ or less on their retirement pay! And the Unions do on purpose of choosing the days for the strikes on the big days of departure for holidays, using the train users like hostages... And no minimal services...
@@gabrielemargheri9060 Yeah, 2 years ago, in December 2019, they did a 4 week strike along side the other regional transports company that has 95% of all the Paris region urban and suburban transport network with little or no minimal services. They did the strike because of the reform of the retirement system that would take out their privileges that also that urban and suburban transport company that owns all the metro and alongside with the national rail company owns 100% of all suburban rail network and 95% of all bus network, in the end, the government didn't back down, the unions started to have accounts of union members being insulted and physically abused by users that had enough seeing those union members taking their wife in a union private car to their workplace... In the meantime, buses were full packed... So it's normal that the users started to use the fists, because, it's not the unions that pays the salary at the end of the month! And they also called off the strike because the public opinion was against them!!! This showed to those unions that the old methods of strike are obsolete!
@@Yamato-tp2kf o know in France public employer often have strong power. I call this system, socialist system. It has failed everywhere around the world.. But in Europe we have a few countries, Italy included, were these stupid opinion are hard to die
9:30 I really hate when train companies do that to the train windows. So annoying. Nevertheless, I still love the look of frecciarossa and ca't wait to try it someday.
That's done here too in Canada (here in Toronto, where I'm typing this from-streetcars sometimes have those ads placed on them [buses have that as well.]
That looks like a really neat train trip. I love how you go through the Alps with all the snow. The food looks good and the train itself looks nice and clean. Only thing would make it better would be if it were longer lol
I rode this train from Rome to Florence in business class and it was so comfortable. The return trip at 2000 was virtually empty. Ride the train in Europe, it’s easy and cheap.
15:44 Wow this is so interesting! Pistoia is really close from my house, i'm happy that they built this fantastic train not too far from where i live! That factory is a Tuscany's excellence for sure!
One of the events I’m looking forward, when Frecciarossa finally entered France 🇫🇷, as an Asian rail fan who loves European high-speed trains. 😆 Another is the AVE that will soon drive into Ourense and the S-106.
@@Neville60001 If it's specified to *that* city I'm living, it's 0, but if it's talking about *that* country with over 1.3 billion population, just one round in my family trip in a summer 2014, on a 13 hours high-speed journey. Actually HSR isn't in my daily life, cuz the distance between my home and my working place is too close.
Enjoyed a high class and an High Speed train journey on FreeciaRosa Italian railway service on super Executive Class. From Paris to Milan was a highly entertaining experience. Thanks Simply Railway for sharing with us . Enjoyed it.
That train looks awesome! I live in the USA, and I definitely want to visit Italy one day and maybe ride it! BTW, I'm still waiting for this guy to review the M7s on either the LIRR or Metro North.
If you 'll visit Italy you ll travel on one of this for sure , the high speed line between Turin -Milan -Bologna -Florence -Rome and Naples it's like an High speed underground metro service.
Thank you for a truly superb video ! I can't wait to take the Frecciarossa from Paris to Milan, for as you describe, it has to be the very best train service in Europe if you opt to travel "Executive" Class. I was amused to hear that the SNCF have now - at last - introduced a upgrade on the TGV service from Paris to Lyon. I rode on that service when the TGV Duplex were introduced, and to start with they did offer a dining option in 1st Class, but sadly that was soon withdrawn. As you so rightly say, "Competition helps the passenger" !

I'm sure that this beautiful train and excellent service was one of the reasons for the demise of Alitalia. Now that Trenitalia part own Avanti West Coast in the UK wouldn't it be nice to see a Frecciarossa speeding through the Channel tunnel and onto London. Great enjoyable video 🙂
@@giacintoboccia9386 Not entirely true, HS1 and access into St. Pancras has European clearance. The biggest problems remain the border checks and segregated area/platform mandated at every departure station to UK
Avanti West Coast is going away in 2026 due to the abolition of franchising of British rail. Also, it has NOTHING to do with the Chunnel, so it won’t be running in it. It’s operated by Getlink who is going to set up their own service between Stratford and CDG.
@@bcarp UK has a restricted loading gauge. Eurostar's Siemens trains are restricted to HS1. When Eurostar operated regional Alstom trains they were specially sized for UK loading gauge and one unit, being tested, ran between London and Glasgow via the ECML and Edinburgh.
this must be one of the nicest train trips especially from Lyon to Torino. Crossing the Alps with snow is a nature gift. The scenery is fantastic. I did this journey in 2014 with the TGV. I wanna do it again but with cheaper price.
Thank you so much. I absolutely loved this. What a superb, highly cost effective executive service, though I’m bound to comment that the window situation was pretty unacceptable for any of the best seats in this lovely train.
@@coolsadface3444 No, i don't care about this kind of product, but many people do, this kind of product will make trains more appealing than planes, which helps the planet.
This is how high speed railways in Europe is so efficient and the UK is getting HS2 that will provide better shorter and faster journey times from London to Birmingham, Manchester and the North of England as it is under construction.
the UK wanted to get the best all that the same time no matter the cost... the cost ended up being too high so the HS2 project has been scaled back. but once completed it should be a nice line, tho small incremental additions to high speed lines worked wonders in the rest of europe, not sure why the UK tried to to everything all at once with the best of the best, all the while leaving the EU... i mean, you sure don't make things easy on yourself...
Only just got around to watching this Paris to Milan trip, great video thanks. Just out of interest I noticed that when the train stopped in Modane there was a diesel loco parked in a siding which must have been purchased secondhand from the UK, Class 66, number 66210 looks like it was still in it's original livery too😀.
These Frecciarossa trains will soon start operations in Spain too under the commercial name of _Iryo,_ linking Madrid to Barcelone, Valencia/Alicante and Seville/Malaga. They will become the 4th full high-speed rail service to operate within Spain, after Renfe's Ave and Avlo, and SNCF's Ouigo. Times of big competition are coming! The sad part is that the new Iryo crew are expected to have much weaker working conditions than the current Renfe and Ouigo crews, so the ticket prices will likely drop at the expense of workers' rights.
Alitalia was the best airline company in term of plane and service and confort compare to other EU airline companies. Unfortunately bad managing sank it.
Nice video. It's important to note the competition, which improves service overall. I love SNCF's TGV but would opt for the Frecciarossa between Paris and Milano.
sono contenta che tu ti sia divertito il tragitto Parigi-Milano. Quanta nostalgia dell'era precovid. Il treno è il mio mezzo di traasporto preferito per svariati motivi. Mi manca il Frecciarossa, mi manca viaggiare spensierata. Hai fatto un'ottima pubblicità a trenitalia.
In the movie ‘the Tourist’ with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, she boards a italian HS train at Gare de Lyon to Venice. In that time it dis not yet exist, this possibilty. I have always wondered, but now it has really come true. Very nice!
Frecciarossa Executive is a fantastic product and service. I’m so happy to see that they have this route now - I had no idea it was coming. Now, if we can get service between Italy and Nice that would be wonderful. I guess if they’re planning to service Spain, that should pass through…
I think the livery that covers the front and rear carriages are temporary and they will be removed. Sorry for the trouble that the special livery has caused you but as i said it will be temporary. Thanks for the video. Happy to see that our train is doing well outside Italy.
No plane needed, from city centre to city centre, no passport and luggage controls, no waiting lines, no cramped spaces, just enjoying the countryside and relaxing.
Not exactly true if you’re coming or going out of Ireland as you need to fly if you want to get to another city and I think it also applies in a way with travelling from Dublin
@@cormacjones12 Yeah thats a problem when you live on an island.
Yeah but still 7h is still worse than an hour flight, it would be different with a night train, you leave in the night and arrive early non the morning.
I would prefer Trenitalia maintained Thello instead, made much more sense since it served all cities between Milan and Venice, instead of Milan only.
I live across the pond, so I'm not familiar with current availability - especially due to the "pandemic" - but aren't ferry services still available between Ireland and the British Isle?
@Niccolò Bonato yeah 7h is long but you are not counting the time off the plane. The time before and after the flight on the airport. And the time to travel from and to the airport cuz an airport doesn't lay in the city centre.
Frecciarossa is stunningly beautiful both inside and outside. This is pure Italian style at its best.
nah imo the inside looks kinda old but on the outside
I once saw a frecciarossa in Paris Gare de Lyon and in the all around white TGVs it was just stunning 😊
made me regret taking the TGV and not the Frecciarossa (although TGV's service is impeccable)
Propio Bello !.
Trenitalia definitely has an advantage with this service as they know how to compete. In Italy, NTV's Italo service has been keeping Trenitalia on their toes. Before that, they were your typical incumbent monopoly operator. The Frecciarossa service was always good, but with the advent of Italo, Trenitalia has had to step it up. It's a good time to be a European train traveler.
it's true, I'm italian and I can confirm that "Italo" has pushed up Trenitalia for better, healthy competition is always good for final users
@@Daniele_Zanardini I live in Italy myself (been here for 17 years) and I have experienced the improvements. It sure makes the trip from Turin to Milan a lot better.
In fact, I prefer Italo and only travel with Italo. The trains are much more elegant and the service is top notch. I hope Italo will also be on route to Europe like Trenitalia.
I'm Italian and always look for rhe Italo train first when I have to travel high speed. The trains are better, the prices are often lower and the service is altogether very good. Ever since its introduction it's been a blessing
Indeed, the improvement of services and fares brought more costumers to both companies, taking away people from cars and planes
Bring the Frecciarossa to Germany, and show that Milan - Frankfurt - Copenhagen, Hamburg - Munich - Rome, Amsterdam - Munich - Venice, Berlin - Munich - Bologna via train, including meeting office and infrastucture, executive seating, and top-class services are much better than flying in a cramped airline seat, and waiting to board an aircraft. And it is much better for our climate! Keep growing the high-speed TEN infrastructure.
I mean if Germany started building on the Rhine corridor and the Munich-Austria corridor Italy and Germany would get much nearer.
Meanwhile here in Italy nobody's even talking about building the Verona-Bolzano HS railway, but I hope that one day Munich will be only 3 hours away from where I live
@Giorgio Fegatini Except for the fact that 1)Frecciabianca don't travel at more than 200 kph 2) from Munich to Bologna there is no high speed lines and 3) probably the service included a lot of stops. Then again, already from the northernmost city of Southern Italy (Naples) to Munich there are 1000 km that even with the trains with the highest average speed in Europe would be covered in some 4 hours.
Engineers, managers and planners already do not expect people to massively take a train for 3+ hours, imagine when it gets up to 4 in the best of cases.
@Giorgio Fegatini Missing piece is Brenner base tunnel. For ETR 1000 to run on DB OBB tracks it needs pzb lzb pantograph 1.95m metalized carbon under 15kv 16.7hz like the TGV. 1.45m copper Italy 3kv is safe on 15kv FFS 25kv SNCF but not DB OBB since it will not make contact with DB OBB 15kv wires
How Can WE get train Travel Africa to Italie
@@Hastdupech8509 the Brenner railway is currently upgraded with two new tracks on a new alignment that will allow for speeds up to 200-250km/h effectively quad tracking the route and this is being done alongside the construction of the Brenner base tunnel + the railway between Verona and bologna already allows for speeds up to 190-200km/h.
If Germany and Austria get around to building fast route between Munich and Innsbruck then Munich-Bologna could be realistically done in 4h
Example of the unique italian sense of style applied to high speed train. Certainly good news for us French travelers.

I always use the Frecciarossa between Milan and Naples. It's exactly the same service. It's fast, comfortable and always on time. You can actually travel from Milan to Lecce (heal of the boot) on one single Frecciarossa journey. I recommend doing that...it's quite a journey!
Thanks for the tip!
you can also travel to the tip of the boot(reggio calabria) in one train from milan/ turin/venice and is also a bit faster beacause it travels on the high speed lines until naples(passing by bologna, florence and rome)
How much time does it take from Milan to Lecce, pls?
@@AngelFlores-bi5xw about 8h ( it travels on a conventional line for the whole journey so it's not vert fast)

Once the Turin - Lyon high speed rail will be completed we will be able to travel between Milan and Paris in 4h. That for sure will make the train much more competitive.

I had the chance to travel in Executive on a Frecciarossa service before and I must say that in my opinion it's the best High speed rail service currently available in Europe.
How is it so inexpensive?
@@TimonSchuetz Mainly because Trenitalia is not a monopoly operator anymore and there's competition int the high speed trains in Italy
True... If you think that the first Railway ever in the world was built in Naples, Italy, you can easily figure out how much Italy is cutting edge in this sector
@@xandercanale In Naples was built the first railway in Italy. The first ever is British.

These videos bring back some great memories of when I was a child and going to Sicily on a family holiday.In them days you could catch a train from Calais that would go right through to Palermo without changing. If you was unlucky you would have to change at Milan. The scenic routes through Switzerland were just simply stunning, and back then the 70`s most of the trains did not have sleepers. To get from London to Palermo took 3 days and 2 nights. Wonderful memories and wonderful trips.
What a gorgeous train. Trenitalia really knows what it's doing
Well, except for that stupid wrap over the windows

@@osky5432 Classic italian pessimism good job bro lmao
@@Nicknock2504 Frecciarossa is not equivalent to Trenitalia: Frecciarossa is a limited, expensive service, that in many cases substitute the almost fast-as but less expensives IC, and it has never to do with the regional and interregional service that is usually not good at all.

We'll have thoese trains next year in Spain as well. 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 🇪🇦👌
The big level-up for the high-speed trains in Italy happened when the private competition came to the market with the Italo trains ; before that the HS trains were similar to the TGV.
The most valuable thing of these trains it the quiteness during the trip, compared to the constant rumbling of the planes; that makes even a 7hr trip very relaxing. In italy it actually disrupted the Rome-Milan flight line,now the HS trains are much preferred on that route.
I have used the Florence Rome trip twice. And Florence Venice twice.
Even to Bologna it outpaces the car already by half an hour.
Sure the infrastructure is expensive but so is the highway alongside it.
Italy got this right. Politically not much else though.
Rail is underrated still
I wish the government would leave the high speed trains alone altogether
True luxury!! The seat!! The exquisite food!! The attendant!! High speed!! Beautiful scenery in spite of gloomy start!! Thank you Thibault for sharing with us😀😀♥️♥️🎄🎄

Having an incredible experience on this magnificent train so far. Atmosphere is very relaxing, seats are nice and comfy with lots of legroom, snacks are really tasty. Staff is really nice. Great opportunity to get some sleep as it is very quiet here in this section of the train. No complaints so far.

I’ve traveled many times in Executive Class between Milano and Firenze; Milano and Roma. It is simply THE BEST! There’s nothing else like it. Glad for this additional service/route so if the occasion arises I, without hesitation, will be onboard in Executive Class. Good luck SCNF … you’re going to need it! 😉
I could not agree more, i've traveled many times between Venice and Rome, comparing that with SCNF on the Paris - Avignon is night and day. I love Italy, I love that the people manage to function in a most dysfunctional way, but the trains, only the Japanese do it better, but even then, the Italians do it with more style.
@@lvthud Pardon? Dysfunctional must be your family.
The SNCF knows to optimise costs. Trenitalia trains won’t be competitive because the train capacity is 40% more important in a TGV than in Ferriorossa with less employees. SNCF is profitable with Ouigo trains with Paris Lyon at 15 €. Now Treinitalia enjoys a 30% discount for their fees using the hush. Speed lines during the first 3 years. Then they will have to fight SNCF with less cost and SNCF come back in 2024 with new trains with even more capacity
@@lvthud You don't know what you say. France is as well absolutely best when it comes to train. So many cities are on the way of a TGV, TER, RER in Paris... You compare what is not comparable. People don't choose SNCF to get the confort you see in this video, they take it for vacation when it's cheaper than the plane. Italy is not better, Italy is proposing an other offer that matches more the needs of business people going back anf forth between Paris and Lyon. So on this line yes, Italy wins. Sorry Dave.
@@lc5698 that's your opinion, mine is that the Italian high speed system is, more comfortable, more reliable, less prone to strikes and the food is far better.
The Best train in Europe... Italian style
A very minor correction: while the first production run of the Frecciarossa ran from 2013 to 2017, last year Trenitalia ordered two more production runs: 19 to cover future Italian and French operations and 23 to cover the 2022 entry on the Spanish high speed railways. Therefore, new Frecciarossa 1000 trains are currently being built again.
Smart choice.
THE ITALIAN TRAINS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD,..
Very proud of my home country dear Thibaut: Frecciarossa 1000 is truly a wonderful train and one of the best in Europe. The opening of the Paris route is really a blast.
The service in executive is a dream! I wasn’t expecting such quality. Thank you for the trip, great video as usual.

Very cool to travel with you down to Italy😊👍 cheers from me in Norway

OMG !!! Just 159 for a six hours high speed trip in executive!!??? I can't wait for them arriving to Spain
Wow, Thibault, this train is a superb experience! Many thanks for showing us the future of train travel.
Respectfully, I believe "the future of train travel" includes overnight services...but this is a fabulous option for daytime travel!
The ETR 1000 Frecciarossa maybe is not the fastest train in the world but it's the sexiest for sure.
Technically, Its top speed is of 400 kmh but in Italy is limited at 300 kmh because of the infrastructure
@il_dalla safety reasons. No point to travel with those trains faster then 300km per hour.
London to Italy direct by train, would be a dream
I don’t think that would be implemented though. It sounds nice, but it would take 4 hours to Paris and then 3 more to London. That’s a bit of an overkill…
Brexit didn't like that idea.
@@Namuchat Wrong. We love travelling to Europe, we just don't want to be ruled by Brussels bureaucrats.
@@nicks40 The EU is not ruled by bureaucrats, but by the European Council, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament (based in Strasbourg).
@@Namuchat The EU is mostly ruled by national parliaments. The power of EU lawmakers or bureaucrats was always exaggerated and the things Brits complained about were supported by British politicians (or were wholly their choice, like allowing workers from Poland several years before the rest of the EU did).
Convenient, fast, comfortable, smooth and elegant.
Omg you were on those trains? They got quite a resonance here in Italy. Anyway, I think Trenitalia will remove those cool stickers from the windows since they were all about celebrating European cohesion Italian-French cooperation and friendship and blablabla, but they'll be gone as soon as the hype goes down and this services become normal.
Anyway, it's delizioso, delicioso is our Spanish friends' property🙃.
Great trip and great report, unluckily it's a long ride, but with the Frejus base tunnel on the Turin-Lyon HS line travel times will get 2.30 hours shorter. From under Milan's duomo to Paris' Notre Dame in 4 hours, what a time to be alive, weren't it for NO-TAV in Susa Valley that have opposed the project for 20 years, though we're starting to see a renewed greater will to finish this project.
totally agree, Frecciarossa Executive class is the best in Europe. We had the coach to ourselves on a short trip between Firenze & Venice, and it was hands down the best rail experience in all of our European travels. What Italy may lack in other areas, they utterly smash in Executive class Frecciarossa.
How much did it cost?
As always, exelent. I can't wait for the Frecciarossa Barcelona - Milano, and the Iryo trains in Spain.
There are no plans for a Frecciarossa service between Spain and Italy.
@@Fufu8881, there _should_ be such a service between Spain and Italy.
Yes there are, but first the Lyon Turin part of the high speed railway must be completed, it will approximately take round 6 hours to travel from Milan to Barcelona, while 4.5 hours from Milan to Paris
Thanks for this very detailed and informative video. I took the TGV from Paris to Turin in 2015, Frecciarossa to Milan and finally Frecciabianca to Venice. I travelled back the same way. I agree with everything you say about Frecciarossa. I only spent a total of 2 hours in standard (economy) class, but it knocked spots off anything we have in the UK. I shall definitely be giving FR a go the next time I visit Northern Italy!
Gorgeous report! I almost never watch train trip reports but this one popped up in my mostly aviation focused feed, and boy I enjoyed it. Very immersive, I think it's the word.
Many thanks from Brazil for this lovely and quite informative journey.
The landscape of winter is quite a treat for us in the tropics!!! Excellent!!!
Fantastic train. Here in Australia we can only hope and dream that we will have something similar in fifty years or so.
This is just the elite of trains though. Here in Europe the majority of trains aren't like this, not even close. We got our share of shitty trains too
@@osasunaitor all your trains are still better than UK which are all rubbish except eurostar.
Meanwhile Amtrak still is trying to catch up to the 21st Century. Currently the prospects look better, but we are way behind!
@@ds1868 Untrue. Just look at the new Hitachi trains now in service with GWR, LNER, TPE, Hull Trains. Remember that Eurostar is not a UK train ! It's international and majority owned by SNCF.
In Australia, in the 80s, a great deal of work was done to plan a high-speed line between Melbourne and Sydney via Canberra. Journey time was around three hours. Surveys were done on many aspects, including the environmental effects and on the consideration of Indigenous heritage sensitivities. All was looking good until the Hawke government refused a quite reasonable tax concession (despite its sunset clause) and the project was killed, stone dead. I still have the book outlining the project, with tables, illustrations, etc..
La prima volta che sono salito su questo treno ad alta velocità è stato nel 2017 da Milano a Torino, era la mia prima volta su un treno che viaggiava a 300 km/h. È stata una bella esperienza, mi piacerebbe che un giorno anche nel mio paese il Perù ci fosse questo tipo di trasporto ferroviario. Un saluto da Torino Italia.
Great video Thibault, thank you. We travelled on the TGV Paris-Milan service a few years ago in first class and were rather disappointed. It didn't help that we also had to change trains unexpectedly in Chambery (it was a few days after an SNCF train crew industrial dispute and rolling stock was not where it was supposed to be - at least that was their explanation). It's fantastic to see the Frecciarossa going into true competition with the TGV service. I thought the rail fare was excellent value for money. We look forward to doing that journey again sometime in the future - and we'll definitely choose the Frecciarossa. Just hope by then they've removed that awful window wraparound as it definitely spoils what are excellent scenic views.
The fact that Europe is increasingly "banning" cars and investing in bicycles and public transport is great. Europe is building a renewable future. Big respect 👏👏👏
Well, except for the part where coal plants produce the electricity. But go ahead, live a delusional life.
@@makiavelli6101LOL especially since Putin cut off his supply of cheap oil. Now you see them burning more wood and coal.

14:50 lol that dog sure was enjoying the confort of the Frecciarossa's interior 😂
Him: "It's usually a very crowded station".
Me: Laughs in Indian.
I was picturing the footage I've seen from Japan where there's guys employed to cram crowds of people into the doors, now I'm thinking of the Indian footage I've seen too lol
I love this frecciarossa I have travelled on it a few times from Milan to Rome but always in standard class I hope in the near future there will be frecciarossa services to other European countries
I m French and I prefer the Frecciarossa 👍 Itd a good competition as you said and Tgv has to quickly improve if not they ll lose a looot of clients, thats for sure ! The Executive is fantastic, I ll book it in the future
I am sure the Executive class is very comfortable, but regarding "lots of clients", you must take into account that not many people can afford to take Business or Executive class (unless it is a business trip and your boss pays for it :-). This is reflected by the fact that only 8 seats are in the Executive class coach. You just cannot build a train only consisting of Executive class seats and run it economically. But we will see how the market develops. In Spain, people are more used to comfort than in France, but the inexpensive services like OuiGo and Avlo have started running last year anyway, so there is a market for a range of different classes in high speed trains.
I take the frecciarossa every year from Florence to Rosarno (Calabria), and it's a 6 hour journey. If you're going solo the best experience comes surely from Executive but the best value I'd recommend is business. Also bc Executive tends to be the most empty and on a normal frecciarossa also kind of felt lonely to me

I would assume in the next year an E (for Spain) would joint those I and F in the ETR 1000 Frecciarossa. With the start for the service to Paris Trenitalia announced plans to put a Frecciarossa 1000 direct trip to Barcelona (no direct train between the two cities since the supression of the sleeper Trenhotel Salvador Dali). Two possibilities are being studied for the french part, one is via Grenoble and Valence (faster) and the other is going via the coastal line to Nice (this would cover the Thello service stopped from the first global lock-down).
Also, Trenitalia subsidiary in Spain, Ilsa, has started trials and homologation for new Zefiros, classed as Serie 109 in Spain. They will start with services in Spain, plans are to reach France and Italy later. The commercial brand will be Iryo and the only doubt is how many levels of service will be offered, because the total number of seating is slighty different between the ETR 1000's and the new S-109's.
I used to travel between Paris and Frankfurt/Main (Germany) using both german ICE and french TGV high speed trains (codeshare). Only in 1st class. The WiFi in TGV was almost always instable/not working, which made me creazy on business trips. Same last month again from Paris to Lille in a TGV 1st class. I'm happy that SNCF (Heaven for trade unions, Hell for customers) is becoming challenged by foreign companies. Next time on Paris-Lyon will certainly be using this Trenitalia service.
Yeah, because the French rail unions don't want to lose the privileges of one of the biggest salary and retirement received in France (they are better paid than the nurses in France...), they won after 10 years in the service more than 3500€ PER MONTH!!!
And in the retirement, they receive 3000€, continue to travel with the family for free and continue to have access to the French Rail health system medicare... In the meantime, other employment sectors will never get those kind of privileges... And many, with the current retirement system, will never get more than 1100€ or less on their retirement pay!
And the Unions do on purpose of choosing the days for the strikes on the big days of departure for holidays, using the train users like hostages... And no minimal services...
@@Yamato-tp2kf unbelievable....a lot of old privileges
@@gabrielemargheri9060 Yeah, 2 years ago, in December 2019, they did a 4 week strike along side the other regional transports company that has 95% of all the Paris region urban and suburban transport network with little or no minimal services.
They did the strike because of the reform of the retirement system that would take out their privileges that also that urban and suburban transport company that owns all the metro and alongside with the national rail company owns 100% of all suburban rail network and 95% of all bus network, in the end, the government didn't back down, the unions started to have accounts of union members being insulted and physically abused by users that had enough seeing those union members taking their wife in a union private car to their workplace... In the meantime, buses were full packed... So it's normal that the users started to use the fists, because, it's not the unions that pays the salary at the end of the month! And they also called off the strike because the public opinion was against them!!! This showed to those unions that the old methods of strike are obsolete!
@@Yamato-tp2kf o know in France public employer often have strong power.
I call this system, socialist system. It has failed everywhere around the world.. But in Europe we have a few countries, Italy included, were these stupid opinion are hard to die
9:30 I really hate when train companies do that to the train windows. So annoying. Nevertheless, I still love the look of frecciarossa and ca't wait to try it someday.
That's done here too in Canada (here in Toronto, where I'm typing this from-streetcars sometimes have those ads placed on them [buses have that as well.]
So Paris to Milan on TrenItalia executive class is a must I see!
I wish, in a close future, to be able to travel on high speed trains from Italy to the rest of Europe, not only to Paris
HSR from Munich to Milan and Venice, once the brenner base tunnel and the Innsbruck Munich improvements are finished.
All of it is beautiful. The sun is pretty but my fav is the clouds and snow.
That looks like a really neat train trip. I love how you go through the Alps with all the snow. The food looks good and the train itself looks nice and clean. Only thing would make it better would be if it were longer lol
There you go! 🚂😉👍🏻
I rode this train from Rome to Florence in business class and it was so comfortable. The return trip at 2000 was virtually empty. Ride the train in Europe, it’s easy and cheap.
It seems that national railway companies in Europe are competing with each other. An ideal "EUROS Cup" for me.
15:44 Wow this is so interesting! Pistoia is really close from my house, i'm happy that they built this fantastic train not too far from where i live! That factory is a Tuscany's excellence for sure!
One of the events I’m looking forward, when Frecciarossa finally entered France 🇫🇷, as an Asian rail fan who loves European high-speed trains. 😆
Another is the AVE that will soon drive into Ourense and the S-106.
Do you travel by HSR a lot where you live?

BTW, I'm still waiting for this guy to review the M7s on either the LIRR or Metro North.
M7s are old news. Review the M9s instead.
If you 'll visit Italy you ll travel on one of this for sure , the high speed line between Turin -Milan -Bologna -Florence -Rome and Naples it's like an High speed underground metro service.
14:47 That dog is so relaxed🐾
He has to relax because he drives the train back to Paris.
He's cute
Thank you for a truly superb video ! I can't wait to take the Frecciarossa from Paris to Milan, for as you describe, it has to be the very best train service in Europe if you opt to travel "Executive" Class. I was amused to hear that the SNCF have now - at last - introduced a upgrade on the TGV service from Paris to Lyon. I rode on that service when the TGV Duplex were introduced, and to start with they did offer a dining option in 1st Class, but sadly that was soon withdrawn. As you so rightly say, "Competition helps the passenger" !
Oh wow..i love it..thank you for highlighting this trip..i will certainly put this on my To Go agenda next yr..👍.i travelled on train in Italy from Milan..venice..rome and finally Florence..just love love those trains..i m coming back..😄
No doubt, I vote for train !
Plus compare with the french TGV, the italian offer is much more classy !

I enjoy watching these trip journeys!
My only suggestion would be to show a little more of the outside of both stations, at the start and also at the destination. Walking out of a major railway station in the centre of a city is always the highlight of any trip I think. It's a little disappointing if you end the video on the station platform. :-)

Love the video, Great for us in America to come over in winter when airfare is less expensive and train around Europe, especially to see the Alps. Sharp Executive class!! Thanks !!
The only thing keeping those of us living in these United States from enjoying similar railway services is the political will. Our elected officials are doing us a grave disservice in so many ways. Alternative passenger transport is but one of them.
😔😢

Murican citizens obeying their lifelong training by corporate ideology to default to bashing the government instead of acknowledging the factually correct version of the problem - car manufacturer, oil and airline lobbies derailing public transit projects since the 1920s.

Breathtaking service, structure, accommodations, overall impeccable experience and reporting! True, the wrap on the windows is really bothersome! 🤩🙏🏻💫🥇✨
YAAAAAAAAA! Frecciarosa in France! WOOOOO
Fabulous journey, great scenery, and SUPERLATIVE commentary!!!! 5-stars*****
This train has fantastic acceleration (0.70 m/s2) like the Azuma in Uk (same acceleration rate) and the Etr-700 (0.58 m/s2). Hitachi sure know how to make quick traction motors. Thank you for your existence AC motors :D
Motors are made by bombardier
Isn't the flirt of greater anglia the quickest accelaration in the UK?
@@giuliof2000 I read somewhere that it was the 331s
@@giuliof2000 But isn't the Flirt the classic train you take to go to work every day? The "classic" high frequentation train i mean.
Pas de commentaires en Français,incroyable,ce train est MAGNIFIQUE
Thank you for making this. I really enjoyed it. I never really thought of taking train from Paris to Milano, however it is a good idea!
Next chance to visit Europe, I sure consider this plan. Lovely!
Respect from Australia. That looked Wonderful. 👏👏👏🇦🇺

Amazing speedy train ! Love it !Getting the Experienced of Intercity of Italy is truely incredible 😍 ! Enjoy the ride! God bless you 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I'm sure that this beautiful train and excellent service was one of the reasons for the demise of Alitalia. Now that Trenitalia part own Avanti West Coast in the UK wouldn't it be nice to see a Frecciarossa speeding through the Channel tunnel and onto London. Great enjoyable video 🙂
Sadly, British trains need to be smaller in the lower part, due to clearance limitations, so it can't do that.
@@giacintoboccia9386 Not entirely true, HS1 and access into St. Pancras has European clearance. The biggest problems remain the border checks and segregated area/platform mandated at every departure station to UK
The reason for the demise of Alitalia Is Alitalia itself...
Avanti West Coast is going away in 2026 due to the abolition of franchising of British rail. Also, it has NOTHING to do with the Chunnel, so it won’t be running in it. It’s operated by Getlink who is going to set up their own service between Stratford and CDG.
@@bcarp UK has a restricted loading gauge. Eurostar's Siemens trains are restricted to HS1. When Eurostar operated regional Alstom trains they were specially sized for UK loading gauge and one unit, being tested, ran between London and Glasgow via the ECML and Edinburgh.
this must be one of the nicest train trips especially from Lyon to Torino. Crossing the Alps with snow is a nature gift. The scenery is fantastic. I did this journey in 2014 with the TGV. I wanna do it again but with cheaper price.
Frecciarossa 1000 was great
Thank you so much. I absolutely loved this. What a superb, highly cost effective executive service, though I’m bound to comment that the window situation was pretty unacceptable for any of the best seats in this lovely train.
Nice new intro, and please do more luxurious class trips like this one :)
um are u spoiled the world isnt gust about u
@@coolsadface3444 No, i don't care about this kind of product, but many people do, this kind of product will make trains more appealing than planes, which helps the planet.
Bellissimo treno. Complimenti per il reportage. Beautiful train. Congratulations on the reportage.
This is how high speed railways in Europe is so efficient and the UK is getting HS2 that will provide better shorter and faster journey times from London to Birmingham, Manchester and the North of England as it is under construction.
the UK wanted to get the best all that the same time no matter the cost... the cost ended up being too high so the HS2 project has been scaled back. but once completed it should be a nice line, tho small incremental additions to high speed lines worked wonders in the rest of europe, not sure why the UK tried to to everything all at once with the best of the best, all the while leaving the EU... i mean, you sure don't make things easy on yourself...
@@herlescraft it's always been the same. If there was another vote though the UK would rejoin the EU.
A wonderful high quality service. Thanks for sharing it. Definitely using it when in Europe
Your video makes me want to give that train a try. The route takes a beautiful, scenic ride with great food and service.
Thanks for this. We are planning a trip from UK to Sicily by train and have been looking for ideas. This is one leg sorted now.
One remark only, the highest point is into the Frejus-Tunnel. Else in Bardonecchia at 1258m. 200m higher then Modane.
Only just got around to watching this Paris to Milan trip, great video thanks. Just out of interest I noticed that when the train stopped in Modane there was a diesel loco parked in a siding which must have been purchased secondhand from the UK, Class 66, number 66210 looks like it was still in it's original livery too😀.
in Italy the Frecciarossa (etr400) we call it the Ferrari of trains.
Super video in what looked like a very comfortable seat for your journey. I like the idea of the meeting room on the train also. 🙂
Another great report. Just about perfect, including the beautiful sunny landscape towards the end. Fantastic train. Hope it prospers.
Thank you, it has been 30 years since I toured Europe by train. What a treat!
These Frecciarossa trains will soon start operations in Spain too under the commercial name of _Iryo,_ linking Madrid to Barcelone, Valencia/Alicante and Seville/Malaga. They will become the 4th full high-speed rail service to operate within Spain, after Renfe's Ave and Avlo, and SNCF's Ouigo. Times of big competition are coming!
The sad part is that the new Iryo crew are expected to have much weaker working conditions than the current Renfe and Ouigo crews, so the ticket prices will likely drop at the expense of workers' rights.
"So the ticket prices will likely drop at the expense of workers' rights." So true. This is just like low-cost airlines such as Wizzair and Ryanair.
The food alone is worth the ticket 😂
18:00 some British traction in snowy France, class 66 sporting an ews livery, beautiful
Well spotted, although I guess it's technically American traction
I took Freciarossa from Roma to Firenze as part of my Italian 'grand tour'.
Nicely done Italy! Looks like these high speed trains might finally achieve what Alitalia has persistently failed to accomplish.
Sì spera
Alitalia was the best airline company in term of plane and service and confort compare to other EU airline companies. Unfortunately bad managing sank it.
Nice video. It's important to note the competition, which improves service overall. I love SNCF's TGV but would opt for the Frecciarossa between Paris and Milano.
Wow! I did not expect it to be only €159 too!
sono contenta che tu ti sia divertito il tragitto Parigi-Milano. Quanta nostalgia dell'era precovid. Il treno è il mio mezzo di traasporto preferito per svariati motivi. Mi manca il Frecciarossa, mi manca viaggiare spensierata. Hai fatto un'ottima pubblicità a trenitalia.
In the movie ‘the Tourist’ with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, she boards a italian HS train at Gare de Lyon to Venice. In that time it dis not yet exist, this possibilty. I have always wondered, but now it has really come true. Very nice!
Cool video buddy! feels like you're actually there!
18:00 I like how there is just a class 66 chilling there in the Alps
Frecciarossa Executive is a fantastic product and service. I’m so happy to see that they have this route now - I had no idea it was coming. Now, if we can get service between Italy and Nice that would be wonderful. I guess if they’re planning to service Spain, that should pass through…
I think the livery that covers the front and rear carriages are temporary and they will be removed. Sorry for the trouble that the special livery has caused you but as i said it will be temporary. Thanks for the video. Happy to see that our train is doing well outside Italy.
