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.

@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.

Therefore, new Frecciarossa 1000 trains are currently being built again.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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" !

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...

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!

@goldfing5898 2 жыл бұрын

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.

@franceskinskij Жыл бұрын

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
