Yo, so I recently took the high speed rail in Italy called Frecciarossa by TrenItalia. I hopped on trains from Milan to Venice, Venice to Florence, Florence to Rome, and Florence to Milan. There's also this other company called Italo - NTV that competes with TrenItalia. Italo is privately owned and their trains have this cool design where one boogie is shared between two cars (you can find a pic online). The Frecciarossa trains can go up to speeds of 300kmph and above (depending on the type of train). But the ones I took were cruising at 250kmph. There are different classes you can choose from and the prices are pretty reasonable (especially compared to the ridiculous prices of American railroads). I paid around €20 - €40 per trip for Business Class or Premium Economy. The prices vary though and most of them are non-refundable. On my Milan - Venice trip, we hit some trouble...

TRAIN TRAVEL IN EUROPE: ITALY Mai nedafa Italion ki high speed rail, jo Frecciarossa ke naam se mashoor hai, le liya tha. Main Milan se Venice, Venice se Florence, Florence se Rome aur Florence se Milan sector par yatra kiya.

Government se partially owned TrenItalia ke muqable private ownership wali Italo - NTV bhi hai. (Italo ke trainon ki ek hat ke design bahut interesting hai, ek boogie do cars ke beech mein taqseem hota hai, ek picture yahan hai)

Frecciarossa trains ki speed 300kmph aur us se bhi zyada (rake type par depend karke) test ki jaati hain. Lekin jahaan tak meri yatra thi, woh saare sectors par 250kmph tak hi chal rahi thi.

Kayi classes of travel hain aur pricing bhi bilkul reasonable hai (kam se kam American railroad pricing pe context rakhte hue). Main ₹20 - ₹40 tak pay kiya har sector ke liye Business Class aur Premium Economy class mein. Pricing mein variables hain aur fare classes mein divide kiya gaya hai, jismein se zyadatar non-refundable hote hai.

Mera Milan se Venice wala train service breakdown mein phas gaya, isi wajah se wo 35 minutes late hua. Mujhe ek email aaya jismein policy batai gayi thi ki agar train 30-59 minutes late ho gayi hai to mujhe 25% refund mil sakta hai. Mujhe apne destination station se pehle hi refund mil gaya tha.

Sabse acchi yatra Rome se Florence ke beech thi, train 277kms ki doori ko bas 1h20m mein cover kar gayi, jahaan 250kmph tak speed thi. Yeh meri ab tak ki sabse tezi se chalne wali train yatra thi.
