Going to Cremona in July

This July (2023), I am going to be traveling from Orvieto to Modena. After a few days there, I'm going to go to Cremona on July 14th for two days. Then, on July 18th,I am taking the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur.

My problem is that there doesn't appear to be train service from Modena to Cremona, or from Cremona to Tirano, in July. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can travel from Modena to Cremona, and then from Cremona to Tirano, in mid-July? I'd prefer to take a train, but I'd settle for buses. Renting a car is the last resort, but I'm willing to do that if necessary.

Probably you were looking for Trenitalia itineraries past June, when there is the timetable change. New timetables will be loaded at due time. If you look on Trenitalia for an itinerary in the next few days, you see that there is a relatively easy itinerary Modena - change at Fidenza - Cremona on regional trains, or a more difficult one with 2 changes in Parma and Piadena.

As for Cremona to Tirano, the easy way is with a change in Milano Centrale (it will take 4 hours). There are also other possible itineraries with several changes here and there, but mostly longer than changing in Milano C.

Thank you for the information, lachera. I am trying to figure out whether I can stay in Cremona until the 18th, or if I should leave Cremona on the 17th and spend the night in Tirano in order to make my Bernina Express reservation at 14:24 on the 18th. I will wait to make that decision until the updated train schedules come out.
