  • Italy train trip | . | 2014/08/26
    "Trains was late arriving at Ventimiglia which made connection VERY difficult and frustrating; 5 hour journey from Milan to Ventimiglia had no food nor drink to purchase on the train - a very unrealistic thing to do for such a long train journey; 1st Class compartment was AWFUL - too croweded, and not enough luggage space for all the passengers. Air conditioning was not sufficient. "

    "We were very disappointed with the journey. Our seat was alongside a very large column that allowed the passenger by the window approx 30cms and the passenger in the aisle seat had a view of about 10cms between the column and the other person's head. As we had booked to travel by train to enjoy the view, the outcome was extremely disappointing. Having to constantly move to see anything made the trip very uncomfortable "
