Had a transfer from Milano P Garabaldi to Centrale during part of our trip. It was a multi-leg journey from Venice to London. Eurail gives suggests 20 minutes to transfer by public transport, which I feel is nowhere near enough.
We had 23 minutes and before that trip I had researched both station layouts and pre-bought the train tickets. We had to get off the train as soon as possible, we wasted no time and walked as fast as we could without slowing down, managed to get on a metro train that arrived in a minute, and then walked all the way to our carriage, but decided to get on a few carriages earlier just to be safe. This was the latest we could’ve gotten there.
I believe this trip should not be recommended or at least a warning / guide should be given. Had one thing gone wrong we would not have been able to make our train. This includes not knowing the directions and wasting time, not having bought the tickets beforehand, the metro train not arriving so soon and not hopping on an earlier carriage.
I believe this was the “correct” way to transfer from P. Garabaldi to Centrale, but if there’s a faster way to make the transfer I would be keen to hear and hope it can be shared to other passengers.
