Regular readers are probably sick and tired of us extoling the virtues of rail. Whether it’s high-speed, local rail, it’s the present and the future. Those who use it know exactly what we mean, and those who use it will sing its praises to the highest heights. From a practical angle, you can avoid the frustrations of traffic jams, navigating, and finding parking, allowing for a more relaxed and productive journey.
And Especially in urban areas and for longer distances on high-speed lines, rail can be faster and more reliable than driving, allowing you to make the most of your commute or travel time. This has been proven again and again.
If you’re a working stiff, commuting by train provides an opportunity to work, read, or engage in other activities, turning unproductive travel time into valuable personal or professional time, especially with onboard Wi-Fi.
Finally, regularly using rail can be more economical than the costs associated with owning and maintaining a car, including fuel, insurance, parking, and repairs, especially with season tickets or travel cards. If you’re not part of the Rail Age, then you many want to get on the beam and join the 21st century.
Now, leaving the everyday behind and using rail to visit places near and far, there is nothing like it, especially if it’s your first go. The ever useful rail expert, “The man in seat 61” will show you how its done. The subject, the FRECCIAROSSA trains that travel throughout Italy, reaching a maximum speed of 300 km/h run straight into the heart of the most important cities. Sit back, relax and see what your future is like. See above.
