We just discovered that the Italo train stops in Bologna a total of TWO MINUTES! It started filling up before we could reach the door to disembark. Yup had to go to Florence, buy another ticket!

Yep, when they announce that they are pulling in, you get up, gather your things and lead the queue to the doors. Be not afraid.

If it is any consolation, Trenitalia trains stop for a whole 3 minutes.

You can bet that we did that on the return trip. Good advice. LOL

It's a fast train; it can't wait for slow travelers.

Funny! Yes! New experience to be the only ones to disembark. Lesson learned.
I’ve missed getting on trains over 50 years, but never getting off. No real harm done, just thought that I’d raise the flag.

Thank you for this warning. I had no idea but I will get up and head for the door in plenty of time thanks to this post.
