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?

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?

That the passes wouldn't be valid between Lecco and Piona is nonsense. It's just the Malpensa Express where they're not valid.
