There will be a group of us flying into Milan mid morning on Wednesday, then aiming to catch a train to Rome.
Is it worth booking Italian trains in advance to guarentee a better fare?

Yes it is, much cheaper than UK rail, but fares similarly go up on the day

Do you have to change at Barnham? Asking for a friend.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

Do they say, or are there any signs that say, "mind the gap" on the Italian rail network? Asking for a Palace friend.

Doing exactly the same. You can get a decent price on the trainline dot com from Centrale to Roma Termini, currently some trains leaving on the hour in the afternoon that are around 22 euro per person. Coming back on Friday is about double that. If you're going to Malpensa there's an airport express direct to Centrale that takes 50 mins and apparently costs around 15 euro.

Are there likely to be delays on the day? I need to know whether to leave 10 minutes before the end.

Cheers for that info, really realy useful. I guess we'll need to factor in a bit of a margin for possible flight delays. Cracking value on the Trans Euro Express to Rome.
You wouldnt happen to be on the easyjet LGW flight at 07:05?

Probably not since I’m not in charge of any of the planning of Tren Italia

On the 08.55. We'll probably get the 16:00 from Milan but only because @Carrot Cruncher is getting that but arriving on a different plane. I reckon the 15:00 would be easily doable for me. I guess the other thing to factor in is how quick the post Brexit passport control is. Amsterdam was sloooow by all accounts at Schiphol.
