According to the page for Italy on this website passes aren’t valid on Lecco to Piona trains, part of the Tirano - Milan line and are shown as such on the App. According to reports from travellers using these trains, they have been told by an on-train Trenord employee that passes are valid and on other occasions presenting a pass hasn’t been challenged by the ticket inspector. Any info, other travellers experiences out there?

Trenord: Lecco - Piona
Best answer by rvdborgt
That the passes wouldn't be valid between Lecco and Piona is nonsense. It's just the Malpensa Express where they're not valid.
The IR website clearly states that Trenord is a participating operator.

Thanks for this but on another page it specifies exclusions for Lecco - Piona and the Malpensa Express?
