#Trieste 🇮🇹 Centrale last Friday. Pictured here is the #FS #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte #770 for Rome, which didn’t run because of a strike. Hauled by two Class E402B electrics, top’n’tail, the consist included seat cars, couchettes and a T3 sleeper (one of just a few, it’s got some “Excelsior” cabins with en-suite facilities).

Good Morning from the #Trenitalia 🇮🇹 #InterCityNotte from #Sicily to #Milan. Breakfast ist served in the sleeper cabin at dawn as we pass the Cinque Terre hilltop villages. What a beautiful day at the Riviera di Levante. No opening windows on the train though, yet last night’s rain did some good cleaning work.

Leaving #Sicily 🇮🇹 for northern #Italy on this #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte, a genuine “cross-country” long distance sleeper service. About 22 hours, if one travels all the way from either #Siracusa or #Palermo through to #Milan.
Settling into the sleeper cabin, which is still in daytime “sofa” configuration.

Good morning. After breakfast in the sleeper cabin of the #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte to #Roma 🇮🇹 Termini, a quick hop by train to Roma S. Pietro station, and Saint Peter's Square🇻🇦- still without the crowds, early in the morning. (And a welcome occasion to use the Santa Sede flag icon for once 😉.)

It includes ex-Z1 1st and 2nd class cars, and an ex “Gran Confort” one, all rebuilt to 2+2 open plan seating. Plus a T3 (ex-T2s) sleeper and two T4 couchettes (ex UIC-X 1st class compartment seaters).

Our #FS 🇮🇹 #Trenitalia #InterCityNotte from #Rome is running on time. #Breakfast is served in the cabin by the sleeping car attendant.
An early morning arrival into #Venice, with a crossing of the lagoon at dawn, is always something very special.
