Hello!

Do you know, why end up EC 30/31 WIen Venezia???

-> http://www.ice-fanforum.de/index.php?id=40627 (german)

"FS/Trenitalia" doesn't want international trains between Austria and Italy.

Welcome to ICE FanForum!

Please feel free to write in English if that suits you better.
Most of the forum members understand the language.

About the missing EC 30/31: I guess this is the price we have to pay for the overblown efforts of the Italians in their high-speed / high-capacity network.
Connections to Austria (Vienna via Klagenfurt as well as Munich via Brenner Pass) and Switzerland (Zurich via Gotthard as well as Basel via Simplon) are not profitable enough (maybe except the freight trains, which will probably run at profit).

Cheers,

Oscar (NL).
