Italy confirms high-speed rail links with Germany and Austria 'by 2026'
Briefly

Trenitalia's Frecciarossa trains will introduce high-speed routes connecting Italy with Germany and Austria, operational by 2026. The Milan-Munich and Rome-Munich journeys will significantly reduce travel times by an hour due to the Brenner Base Tunnel. Service will expand to ten routes between Italy and Germany by December 2028, linking major cities like Naples and Berlin. This initiative, part of the European Commission's "European Metro" project, emphasizes improving cross-border rail connectivity and filling transport demands for additional European destinations.
"With the support of German infrastructure, which connects to numerous other countries, the line will also fill a transport demand for other destinations such as Frankfurt and Krakow."
"The new Frecciarossa connection will offer a direct service between Italy and Germany, passing through Austria, and will have a significant impact on rail connections between the two countries."
