  • Hi, so this is my new train trip report about Italy's private high-speed train, the italo owned by NTV. I have booked Club Executive class (=first class), which is the highest booking class on the italo and hence is their firsdt class product. I traveled from Milano Centrale to Roma Termini. Hope you enjoy this trip report about train travel in Italy!

    Very nice video! As an Italian, I usually take Italo because it is more often on time and is cheaper if you book in advance. Freccia rossa used to have more routes but now Italo is expanding. Up until a few years ago you could get into a lounge even with normal tickets. Access to the train is now restricted to ticket holders for security purposes in Milan, Rome and Florence.

      Thank you! Yes, italo is expanding, they have a great product and a lot of promotional deals. But to be honest I enjoy traveling with both the Italo and the Frecce. My aspiration is to make videos of all Italian long distance trains. Anyway, thanks for watching and your comment!

    I traveled both companies in Italy, but I prefer Italo cause is faster than Freccia. 250km/h vs 300km/h. Both have a good service but very different configurations. Good report! Liked it very much!.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +10

      Hi and thanks for watching. They both have the same speed. The operating speed in Italy is not limited by the train, but by the railway infrastructure. They wanted to raise it recently, but decided to leave it the way it is. For this reason both the Italo and the Frecciarossa have the same operating speed of 300 km/h. Both are capable to go much faster, but are not allowed to, because of regulations and infrastructure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Italy

    • @7orenz264

    Very informative & great video. I wish the owners of the Italo high speed train company would invest in the California High Speed Rail, they would be a great investor. I enjoyed the video very much. I travel long distance in the U.S. by Amtrak train and also when I’m home in the San Diego area I ride Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner trains between San Diego, Los Angeles & Oxnard,California alternating my visits between the 2 cities. Train travel is the best way to see any country that has passenger train service.

    While i personally prefer the FrecciaRossa interiors over Italo's, it must be acnowledged that the comfort at max speed (300kmh) on NTV Italo is far superior. The FrecciaRossa suffers a constant sideways shaking as if it was bouncing between the rails. Standing and walking along the train can be a proper challenge, whereas Italo is perfectly firm and stable at any speed.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад +5

      Hi, thanks for watching and your kind words. Yeah, I agree it is certainly above average, which is partly because those trains are still quite new and they seem to try to keep them in a good state. But I have to say that my experience in Italy's high speed trains was generally a good one, be it with the Italo or with the Frecciarossa :-).

    • @BritishRail60062

      No problem. Compared to the trains we have here in Northern Ireland and with the exception of the Enterprise trains that operate between Belfast in Northern Ireland and Dublin in the Republic of Ireland that has first class seating. Our local trains only have standard class seating that is okay. I would recommend trying out the first class on the Irish Enterprise train if you plan to visit Ireland and wanted to stay in Dublin as it departs Dublin Connolly station every 2 hours for Belfast and it is a very nice route to ride along.
      All the best.

    both NTV and trenitalia will operate in Europe in the coming years.
    In these weeks Trenitalia is testing a FRECCIAROSSA 1000 to operate in France since 2019 (for a total of 5 FRECCIAROSSA trains that will be used only in France from 2019)
    I wanted to point out how the German newspaper DER SPIEGEL a few weeks ago defined the Italian railway system as best in Europe, and invited the German company DB to draw inspiration from the Italian model . The article: www.spiegel.de/plus/warum-italien-ein-paradies-fuer-bahnfahrer-ist-a-c7eb9813-3b89-4dd4-aad7-b96186b48497
    PS: I want to add that the company Alstom is French but the trains are built 100% in Italy by the former FIAT FERROVIARIA company that was bought by Alstom years ago.
    All Italian trains at both high speed and normal trains are 100% produced in Italy by Italian companies that export trains all over the world

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +3

      The problem with DB is that they own the railway infrastructure,, so unlike in Italy, there is no competition on neutral grounds. I wanted to make a trip report about the ICE in first class in February, when I went to ITB in Berlin, but I had to abort this mission, because my train got stuck at first and then was broken and didn't even arrive at Berlin main station.
      I know the EU wants to deregulate the train market and the Italian companies would crush DB and some other European railway operators. But they don't want that competition so I expect them to try to keep that new competition away at all costs.

    • @intersezioni
      @intersezioni 6 лет назад +3

      I would not want to make a mistake, but I think that the opening of the railway market across Europe is mandatory from 2019.
      I invite someone more experienced than me to confirm!
      Thanks for the video! ;-)

    • @intersezioni
      @intersezioni 6 лет назад +1

      PS I saw that it also follows the "sector" air, the new government decided to revive ALITALIA and not to sell more 'society' buying 51% of the shares. This is good news, I hope the Italian state does the same good job it did with the railways.
      It is a historic and glorious airline that does not deserve to disappear

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +1

      Absolutely, and you are right liberalization of the train market is mandatory. Still I think DB will use all kinds of tricks to keep competition away. And you are right about Alitalia, too in my opinion, the should never ever sell it to anyone, who doesn’t want to keep it as an independent Italian company. The problem of Alitalia is the debt and not the business model. There are enough passengers in Italy 🇮🇹 and Alitalia is actually expanding (!) right now.
      What Lufthansa and other “investors” want, is to get Alitalia practically for free, without debt, similar to what happened to Swissair and Austrian Airlines.
      I hope the new Italian government will not accept that kind of sellout.

    Ulisse Stacchini, the designer of the San Siro Stadium died in 1945 way before the many renovations which completely changed its looks, adding the second ring and surrounding ramps in 1955, then adding the third ring, the gigantic pillars and the rooftop in 1990.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад

      That’s correct, but the original San Siro stadium was designed by him. When I’m doing the videos I can’t put every little detail in what I say, because otherwise the video would be very long, too long for most people in fact.

      Unfortunately I'm not much, been there only once for a match and once for a concert, before 1990 during matches, the police cut off the traffic and I needed to divert about 6 kilometers to go home. Since 1990 when they build the third ring, they also built a four lane tunnel under the stadium, this has reduced the stress quite a lot, though you still find thousands of people walking on the roads and cars need to travel and walking speed.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад

    Here in the US, the fastest train is the Acela Express from Washington DC to Boston with an average speed of 135 km/hr and a maximum speed of 240 km/hr (but only for a 34 mile stretch in Rhode Island). Your 300 km/hr Italo is undoubedly much faster by both counts.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад +2

      Hi and thanks for watching and your comment. Yes, there is no doubt that the Italian railway system is one of the best and much faster than what is offered in the US. However, when I made my video about the Acela (which you can find on my channel), I came to the conclusion that it still can be an alternative to the plane on certain sections. One major advantage is the fact it stops right in Manhattan making a long transfer obsolete. Also you don’t have all the hassle with TSA, check in and boarding.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад +2

      The US and high-speed passenger trains, that’s a difficult relationship. I can only state my opinion, but I don’t see much of a chance for that to change completely for so many reasons. However, on certain routes, I think it is possible and it is done in some cases (for instance the Acela, see on my channel) or the Brightline (will release a video on that, too).
      It is difficult to compare the US with Italy, first and foremost because the US is more than 30 times as large as Italy. But I agree more effort in building some decent high speed railways in the US is needed. Last but not least thank you for watching!

    How much room is there for luggage? I’m planning on buying two executive tickets. We will be traveling with 1 carry on and 1 large luggage? Should I upgrade for the private room? I didn’t notice in your video where the luggage goes in those private rooms?

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +1

      Hi, when you book normal Executive Class seats you can put your luggage above the seat, in the separate compartment I haven’t seen that option, so you would have to put them to the baggage compartment. Here’s a seat plan, where you can see it:
      uk.voyages-sncf.eu/sites/uk.voyages-sncf.eu/files/Seat%20map%20-%20Italo%20(NTV).pdf
      On the Italo website this file describes the luggage options on the trains:
      www.italotreno.it/~/media/Images/content/pdf/Informativa%20bagagli/informativa_bagagli_EN.pdf?la=en
      Hope that helps a bit!

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +1

      Oh and if you’re two people I’d say the private compartment isn’t really necessary, since the regular executive class seats are good (and you can put your luggage right into the overhead compartment). You have various options here: there are two seats on one side, meaning one window seat, one next to the alley or for example two seats facing each other. I recommend you to see the seatplan I included in my first answer.
      I wish you a great trip!

    hi. In the website when you go to see the Club executive the seats are different from those there are in the train you travelled. Why?

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад

      On which website? I can’t say anything without seeing it, I’m afraid. Please share the link so I can have a look and I’ll be happy to answer your question. I already have an idea what you mean.

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад

      Do you mean here? www.italotreno.it/en/the-train
      -> Club Executive?
      The reason it looks slightly different on that photo is that it is a different train.
      NTV operates the AGV, shown in my video and the slower Pendolino ETR.675 EVO, which is the newest addition to their fleet. You can also see it here: www.italotreno.it/it/il-treno/italo-evo#gallery
      Haven’t tested it so far, but definitely will after your comment. Thank you!

    Frecciarossa First Class seems to be better. Am I right ?

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  5 лет назад

      As I mentioned in the Italo video, it is better to compare Italo‘s Club Executive Class with the business class on the Frecciarossa. With that being said, the main difference is the cabin and the fact that you get warm food in the Frecciarossa Executive Class. The lounges though are more or less the same, I actually prefer the Italo lounges.
      Thank you for watching!

    Frecciarossa or Italo? Which is the best?

    • @travelmentaryTV
      @travelmentaryTV  6 лет назад +6

      That's hard to say in my opinion, because they are both pretty good and difficult to compare. The Frecciarossa has a fantastic Executive Class cabin, while the Italo Club Executive offers a very good product for a good price. However the Italo Club Executive Class has to be compared with the business class on the Frecciarossa. But I haven't tested that so far. So all I can say is I enjoyed traveling both with the Italo and the Frecciarossa.

      Hello, yes, but so is WiFi. So only the cellular connection was switched off, hence establishing a connection to the wireless network of the train should have been possible. In fact I believe it connected to it, but I couldn‘t access the internet. Thanks for watching!

      Ah, I see. The thing is my phone doesn't seem to like Wifi in Italian trains, because I had the same problem on the Frecciarossa. I'm happy that this video helped you. On my channel you also find two videos about the Frecciarossa, that might be useful, too. In any case I'd be very happy to welcome you on this channel again, so please consider subscribing.

    If you want to try the Frecciarossa buissness class. You should try it on Frecciarossa, not on Frecciarossa 1000 because italo, frecciarossa, frecciarossa 1000 are the best trains in italy

    • @ferrarisuper
      @ferrarisuper 6 лет назад

      Freccia bianca is an Intercity with more beatiful locomotives. (Search on youtube new intercity italy) the difference is this: Intercities do longer travels, but a little bit more stops, the Frecciabiancas do shorter travels. The Freccia argento is slower than Frecciarossa but it can go on the sud because it is a "pendolino", but it also run on the extreme nord and on nord est. Here Freccia argento have got the competitor "Italo evo"

First of all, I have a lot of camera and filming gear with me, which requires a lot of space around me and which I don’t want to get lost or stolen. Besides I wouldn’t find those videos very interesting. Moreover, please don’t forget that I can only make a limited number of videos as this channel is just a little hobby in my busy life.
