Our Italian travels went well, very impressed with Trenitalia for punctuality and cleanliness.We followed the advice above and booked all our subsequent Italian reservations in person at a station..... it happened to be Salerno where the girl spoke excellent English. Thank you from one senior to another, mcadv!One reservations was from Reggio di Calabria to Bari via Taranto. Although Reggio to Taranto is an Intercity train, all seats are 2nd class ( we have 1st class pass)
I've done some practice bookings, stopping before payment, in oebb.Innsbruck to Chur, yes seat choice available on RJX.Venice to Villach, yes seat choice available on RJVenice to Innsbruck, no seat choice available on EC.So EuroCity is the problem
Yes, that's the train we've booked. The tickets are not available as a mobile ticket, as expected, the app flags this up, only as an emailed pdf. Perhaps this is because it is a strike day essential service.Or does it apply to all domestic Italian trains booked on oebb app?
Yes we are going from London to Nice first then making our way to Viareggio for the Carnival. We leave Viareggio on 17th Feb, national rail strike day. The train to Salerno is listed as an Essential Service according to Trenitalia website.
The seat options were aisle, window, with table. I never saw an actual seating plan.We'll try and do a seat swap as suggested.Surely oebb could tweak their app software to have more customer friendly sear selection
