1) What is the difference between trains in Italy? THE REGIONAL TRAINS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Regional trains, indicated by the abbreviations R or REF next to the timetable, offer services within the same region (or, in some situations, by transfers in neighboring areas). Regional trains stop at all train stations on the line you\u2019re travelling (except in some specific cases, when they exclude the less important stops). In general, the maximum service speed is between 90 and 140 km \/ h, with peaks of 160 km \/ h on the longest journeys and newer train wagon.<\/p>\n

In the lines where the traffic is more intense, the routes are made with vehicles composed of 5-8 cars of one or two floors. For regional trains it is not necessary to book a seat and often you will not be able to buy the ticket online, usually you can get it only one week before departure.<\/p>\n
