Apologies for the source, I just looked for something in English. This was recently in the Italian news and I read it on the Tagesschau as well.
The connection will even be faster once the route will go through the new Brenner tunnel. I personally welcome every initiative for the development of fast-train connections between Europe. Having traveled a lot on the current EC151 line connecting Milan with Frankfurt I just really hope that the three systems will be better integrated also from the passenger point of view (same prices, easy booking, no sheanigans with mandatory seat reservations and so on).
Only fast until it reaches the german border
Cannot wait to miss it due to the previous train getting delayed.
“On the Milan-Munich route, with a travel time of six and a half hours”.
It currently takes 6h43 with 2 trains according to google maps. It’s a bit surprising that these new direct trains are barely quicker (same with the new Berlin-Paris).
It’s still great though!
As someone that recently was able to ride one of these in italy: even if they have to go slower while in germany, it is a major upgrade in comfort. These seats were *nice*
