The Anonymous Widower

From Turin To Milan

I was glad to leave Turin for Milan.

I was comfortably in First Class, virtually by myself for €34.50.

There is a high speed route, but my train took the traditional one.

One point to note about Italian trains is that most of their stations are termini, where you often have a long walk down the length of the train to get to your carriage. You realise how good the loading is at Kings Cross and the three major Eurostar termini, where you can use a bridge to get to the middle of the train.

An Italian told me a few years ago, that depending on the journey, he sometimes travels First Class and sometimes travels Second, just to avoid walking the full length of the train twice, as some journeys have intermediate stops, where the train actually reverses.
