New international trains into Italy at the moment? I don't think so ;)

At the moment the only train heading to eastern Europe and Croatia from Italy is one single night train a day.

Trainitalia has in recent years shown a good record of axing international (day) passenger trains (look into some old timetables).

However, european regulations alow foreign opperators to run international trains in other countries on their own, but if you're familiar with what is happening to the DB-OEBB trains on the Munich-Innsbruch-Verona-Milano/Venezia/Bologna route and a bit into southern european mentality you can guess the results.

All the efforts by Trenitalia have lead the DB-ÖBB services to have become nicknamed "Mystery Trains". It is said they don't make any great profits.

I realy believe there is a marked for such connections, but it is Trenitalia who has to deal with that issue. They do not have intention to provide "normal" long distance services, unless to Sicily or the isles (or let other companies provide these, I suspect at least they want to keep themselves the market open). Trenitalias strategy is to provide fast connections (< 4 hours).

IF this wis true, it would be great news, but the author does not state any resources. Why don't you ask in the forum (Vlaki.info), if you speak the language (I suspect it's in Czech), for resources and tell us the results?

Kurz auf Deutsch:

Daniel hat ein (ich vermute tschechisches) Forum verlinkt, in dem ein Schreiber, anüpndigt die Pendolinos würden von Wien weiter nach Venedig duchgebunden werden.

Meine Vorredner und ich glauben da nicht wirklich drann.

Ich war einfach mal so frei, Daniel aufzufordern die Frage nach dem Wahrheitsgehalt einfach mal im anderen Forum zu stellen und den Autor um entsprechende Quellen zu bitten.
