As of July 2021, Trenitalia is refurbishing the interiors of its ETR.600s with much more modern seats with winged headrests and without the center reading light

Enjoyed the video - thanks. One of my favourite travel experiences is arriving in Venice by train (only beaten by arriving by speedboat). Venice Santa Lucia is one of my favourite stations too. The minimalist facade is so distinctive and it ia always a thrill to emerge from the station to a vista of the Grand Canal.

It was sure memorable for me.

I remember taking the train from Venice to Rome in the very early aughties - it took me then nearly 7 hours to get to Termini, departing shortly after 4 pm, arriving shortly before 11. Most of journey we were just snaking our way down to Rome from Florence. And it took us just 2 hours to get to Florence from Venice. At the time, regional differences in Italy were stark. In the south, trains were excrutiatingly slow and unreliable. 4 hours now is great. Hope they can cut down on the travel time a bit more. 3 hours total travel time would be just awesome.

@@SuperalbsTravels I remember I traveled on a rail pass but had to go to the train station on advice of a hotel receptionist to make a prenotazione (seat reservation). Which was a waste of an hour since the train was actually only half full when I'd shown up.

It's always a gamble making a reservation, when you don't know if it's busy! Unless it was compulsory reservation, even worse!

The Trenitalia FS ETR.600 Pendolinos are so beautiful. Once the best built high speed trains in Europe.

Great video and I quite agree about the poor ride quality of the Frecciargento. I once rode from Venezia SL to Bologna on the same route and apart from the train rattling manically the air con was broken and as it was a hot day the interior was like a sauna !!!

Sorry, forget my previous question...i saw on video they have a restaurant/bar car

I would imagine the reason for the blinds kept in the down position is to keep out the sun/summer heat. On another note, when I travel between Milano Centrali and Roma Termini I prefer Frecciarossa Executive Class. Not cheap by any means but, IMHO, a great way to travel. Try it if you get the chance. 👍🏻

@SuperalbsTravels

It is exciting looking, I can't wait to try it!

the reason for the blinds kept in the down position is because the cleaning staff cleans the blinds too, with a kind of liquid disinfectant that needs to dry, very important in pandemic time.

Wonderful! It will be a trip report on the ETR600 Frecciargento next month on my channel!
