I love train culture in Europe, how much Europe has invested and continues to invest in trains should be a model to the US

Amazing that they can keep the ferry so still whilst it is sitting in water so that the rails inside the ship line up perfectly with the rails on the quayside.

videos made in Italy are the most viewed on this channel! More italian trains pleaseee

Mate, I really loved this report, it makes me proud of Italian railways even if they are always so often criticized… great to see a foreign guy appreciate and love this travel experience!

I traveled so many times with this train when I was a young guy. I'm originated from Siracusa, but at that time I was studying at the University in the north of Italy. Train looks much better now, very modern and fashion. I really miss it... I've promised to myself to travel again with it my child and wife, soon or later.

I’ve wanted to do this my whole life! I live in the US but my grandparents were from Augusta, Sicily and I’d love to travel down from Rome on this train.

I really enjoyed the video, thumbs up! That is the trip I wished for years, a train ride to Sicily. For now I never had the chance to do it, so thank you for, in some way, letting us experience your journey. It's quite sad and perhaps unexpected to read how much you enjoy this train and how much you consider it useful and comfortable, since here in Italy almost everyone would prefer to take an airplane and Trenitalia cut almost every night train. Btw, until a few years ago you could go from north to Sicily, now only north to Calabria or Rome to Sicily. If you want to go from, say, Milano to Siracusa, you'd need to change train or take an airplane, choosing between a change in the middle of the night (if the first train has no delay!) or wasting an entire day. Didn't know your channel, now I'm waiting for the next video! See you soon :)

I am a Japanese railfan. I wish to experience this wonderful journey of overnight train to cross the strait by the ferry and have beautiful scenery!

Took the Rome to Palermo route last year. Brilliant. We had a day in Rome with a nice evening meal then took the train. Slept and travelled, so no time wasted. The 3 berth cabins were all sold out, so the 4 berth meant I had to share. Crossing the Messina straits at dawn was special. Just remember to take some food and drink as breakfast is limited. Clean, efficient, and on time. Do it before they build the bridge between the mainland and Sicily.

Amazing engineering. Rome central is one of the best stations in Europe. Modern huge . the train both color scheme external and interior looks great. The welcome kit. Even in flights we dont get these days. Highlight is the ferry. What an experience. Superb. Trains in the ferry being pulled out. So exciting to see. Felt as if I travelled. Thank u for the coverage. Great job.

Didn't know loading trains into boats for normal operation was a thing 😯

Belle vidéo très intéressante notamment du fait que le train prenne le ferry ; c’est original

So glad I came across this, I'll be travelling from Scotland to Italy (Rome) and of course Sicily, visiting several cities in Europe by Interrail 1 month train pass, this will be in my itinerary, thanks for the video, appreciated.

Now this is flipping cool! Never seem this in my life! Awesome video! Great review!

I used to take this train every summer when i was a child to visit my relatives in Siracusa

È un viaggio che faccio spesso, partendo però da Milano per Siracusa o Palermo, ed è bellissimo . Il viaggio in treno notte è poesia, il paesaggio poi è meraviglioso. Grazie per il tuo video ciao Sebastiano

I enjoyed the video! Thank you for sharing. It looks like a beautiful journey down to Sicily! Merci beaucoup :-)

The ferry is incredible:) Thanks a lot!

Intercities services (both sun and night) were very bad here in italy, until in 2017 the Until the CEO of Trenitalia decided to modernize the service, to create a cheaper service than the HSTs, slower but above all with the same comfort.

I still remember the train boarding the boat when I was four years old. It was in 1965. I saw the railway tracks on the boat.

Bon vidéo Thibault! Je aime le trains Italiens

Ooooohhh so nice, it's just something special when a train goes on a boat.

The only complaint I had while using the trains in Italy was the lack of handicapped accommodation. My husband has difficulty walking and there were countless times when to cross from one track to the other you had to go down stairs with luggage and then up stairs to the platform. No ramps, no elevators that were working at Roma Termini. This was 2017z

They put the train on a ship! What a hoot. I made this run from Rome to Sicily last fall en route to the Aeolian Islands and found that the train-ship-train connection to Sicily isn't widely known even among Italians. An unscientific sampling of several Italian friends about how trains make the watery crossing produced i dunnos and a tunnel among the answers. One of my best experiences in traveling around Italy has been crossing the Strait of Messina aboard a train that's aboard a huge ferry. Regarding the Intercity Notte, I had vaguely heard about it and your report fills in the gaps about how it works. Thanks for this great vlog.

What an amazing video!!! 😁😁😁

Wonderful! I have done this journey several times on the day train, but never on the overnight service. Pity you didn't show the volcano Etna or the beautiful station at Taormina-Giardini though.

Very cool. My dad and I took an overnight roomette coach from Hamburg to Copenhagen using a ferry back in 1980. I'll never forget waking up just in time to see the ferry docking in Denmark and the coaches being unloaded.

I can confirm the impressions. These berths are way more comfy than those on duty with NJ's. Travellers on a budget don't necessarily need an upgrade. Glad you enjoyed 'u ferrabottu.

Video bellissimo e fatto molto bene, mi ha riportato ai tempi di quando da ragazzino facevo Roma - Messina... quanti ricordi

Complimenti, l'esperienza del traghetto è stata sempre molto emozionante, io ci arrivavo partendo da Piacenza con l'espresso "FRECCIA DEL SUD". Le emozioni sono le stesse, anche se il viaggio era molto più scomodo.

Wow. What an incredible journey. Thank you for taking us along! 👏👍 And you changed your title to Toilet Time. ☺️🥳

W-W-W-Wonderful!!!, it looks like a travel from Milan to Marsala!!!

I love your videos! congrats to this one, go ahaed bro! thanks a lot for sharing this

¡Excelente video! 😊

@ 8:05 Its a little funny. The round sign says it's prohibited to move the wagon if any doors are open.😁

Beautifully expressed in terms of railways

Merci Tous les souvenirs que tu as dans ta tête C'est génial Tu ne peux même pas imaginer la chance que tu as Il faudra que tu nous dises aussi c'est quelle partie de ton trip européen préférée. Les régions que tu as le mieux aimées. Là où les trains étaient les plus confortables. Mais tu as vraiment fait un trip de rêve.

many years ago, we took this sleeper from Roma - Palermo, great memories. Alas back with Alitalia Palermo-Roma-Amsterdam because of a family illness...

Brings back memories, made many crossings with that boat. Watched the trains coming and leaving...

0:51 Damn, that’s triple the Size of New York Penn Stations main concourse

After the ninth of December that crossing will be the last one all year passenger rail-ferry to operate in Europe when Rødby-Puttgarden will close for trains.

Brings back good memories from the ferry crossings Puttgarden - Rödby, and Helsingborg - Helsingör. The ferry service on the latter route was suspended on two occasions because of heavy seas.

This Is Next Level...First I Read The Title And Was Just Watching the Journey Ferry Comes and Make The Plot Twist Omg...Whole Train In The Ferry Thanks For Covering This Never Heard And Seen Before...🙌👍👍

Thanks for the Idea! Next time i'l try to do

"Wow so warm"... as I'm watching this video a further 100 km south of Sicily. Wait till summer. 😁

I made that same trip in Dec 1979, but the train was so full due to Xmas we sat on the floor of the isle entire way. Thats ok when you are 20, i would prefer to do as you did in this vid. We crossed the straits of Messina at night, it was fun and beautiful. Thanks for the post.

What a trip ..😍😍😍 .. I think u really enjoyed the travel ...

8:28 well, that coach was not so old, the revamping happened in early '00 (as Comfort coaches one). Both types are UIC-Xs, but the white one is used on regional trains (as Corails in France, the same type is used on different services)

6:46 If you run out of trains a review on every ferry service in the world would be fun.

Awesome trains and nice trip

Thanks for the great and interesting train video. 👍👍👍👍👍

Ottimo lavoro!!!

Great video, thanks

What a nice trip!

That's one insane way to get in Sicilia

I soliti commenti degli italiani che si lamentano sono VERGOGNOSI.

Great video!

The ferry trip is so relaxing

The sound of pulling out the Train from ferry out reminds 'Titanic ' :P . Awesome Video Thanks.

Muy bonitos esos trenes. Me recuerdan a los trenes Intercity y tren cama de España de los 80-90

The Ride of Rome to Sicily, is more beautiful and more amazing the shifting at the Ship, from the Earth Railway Track, I.e. more wonderful, I like to your this wonderful turning...

Roma Termini is indeed pretty huge though I prefer Milano Centrale over it. The outside Termini area isn't the best at night tho'. Good video as always, wasn't expecting such nice coaches, thought they were older inside. Nice surprise. Having breakfast while gently sailing to Sicily is definitely a huge bonus! Out of curiosity, how much did you pay the one way ticket? Also, will you upload the Italo and Frecciargento trip report?

Super video!

Nice! :)

impressionant le moment du ferrie ! :o

My former city I really missed this beautiful city." Siracusa che bella."

Brilliant trip

Nice job bro!

Great video! 👍👍👍 Like!

4:39 probably a manual how to use the comb :D anyway nice trip report

I want to visit Italy, but COVID-19 broke my dreams 😭😭😭😢

For Info They seem to have improved the rolling stock a bit since I used it in 2016 , the Excelsior cabins were getting a bit tired and the incorporated shower and toilet had a distinct drain smell. However the journey was excellent , on time and when booked early very cheap , worked out at about 85 euros each for two cabins four people , there is no restaurant car so take your own food . You can not beat the early morning crossing across the straights . I believe only one of the services has the Excelsior cabins on , but that may have changed now . Italian Railways are excellent , they have problems like all Railways but its a far more civilised way to travel , the very fast trains with all the different classes are recommended.

The Intercity Night 35551 is the diverted of InterCity Night 1529. The first one goes via Formia and stops there and in my city (Latina), the 1529 doesn’t. I hope I can take this train when I will go to Sicily. Anyways, Nice trip reporting!👍

actually I made a mistake on my visa permission and I had to cancel my plane and took the train to Rome instead. It was one of the most unique thing I have ever done

great voyage

The Deluxe coaches were originally built for CIWL... so they should be pretty nice.

i hi I'm from Syracuse ... nice video

Nice video,and train in good condition for long distance drive

very nice and useful video

Reminds me of the Dover -Dunkirk service back in the day.

Nice video!

Quel beau trajet. Les FS ont su moderniser leurs voitures de nuit, même si je ne trouve pas la livrée très drôle. Par contre, pour ma part, j'adore celle des trains régionaux. Merci pour cette belle vidéo. Un voyage à faire, assurément !

Bel video interessante, ho scoperto come si alza il bracciolo del sedile👍

Nice Job. People often ride the wrong section of this train and other trains directed to Palermo.

Enjoy 🚄😎

Great Italian trip! Regards.

Very interesting

I realy like your videos and i want you to ask if you come to germany the next time

loved this video. How influencers should be. Quiet & informative. Less Kim Kardashian, more Simply Railway.

Train on ferry is so cool

Very nice trip there was another ferry training between Germany to Denmark but unfortunately that's been rerouted and doesn't go on ferry anymore so I believe this is the only rail ferry serving europe now

Super video! Have you been on the Hamburg to Copenhagen train that goes on the ferry? They make everyone go to the upper deck. But it's closing soon I think, to build a tunnel.

Once you could go from London to Paris in a sleeper. The Night Ferry it was called. Ended in the 1960s.

Did you do the return journey on the deluxe , would like to see the coaches , cant see a link but may have missed it

Da bambino andavo da Bologna a Palermo con il treno notte, che ricordi. Mi manca rifare quel tipo di viaggio

I think I read about this train in *Italian Ways* by Tim Parks.

Tante volte ho fatto questo tragitto in treno.

My friend traveled yesterday from Soverato Calabria to Messina Sicily

Ohh No fair. First it was delayed from 11pm to 2am at Salerno. I was on the Notte from Naples to Catania and I was told I could not leave the train while on the Ferry :-( Was my only complaint in my 10 days in Italy though :-D The Train you got was much nicer than the one I was on...

Can’t believe that they let passengers be on deck for unloading!
