A Tim posting a thread about something that might not happen? Could it be called off due to fog?

 

[Gazwag]

Milan is nowhere near Rome

That's why he needs a train

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Milan is nowhere near Rome

Is this @dwayne ‘s Ryan Air flight to “Rome”?

So not just trains- planes and cars on motorway too?! So we will all be trapped boozing in Rome for another day with the rugby Jocks unable to get over!

From what I understand I messaged a friend in Verona it’s buses and trains. trains from midnight 7th till 9pm on the Friday.

General strike in Italy apparently

General strike in Italy - Socialist Worker

Millions of workers in Italy last week joined a general strike against attempts by the government and the bosses to make them pay for the economic crisis.

Oh sorry that was 15 years ago

This was on Italo train website.

If you search Roma station to Milan it shows the strike information

Friday seems to be the National Strike day, not the Wednesday.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Friday seems to be the National Strike day, not the Wednesday.

Doh. Of course, 8th is Friday.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

There's a document on this page of the Trenitalia site of guaranteed long-distance train services on strike days. Doesn't seem to be a lot going north from Roma Termini.
