HELP! Do Trains even run during Christmas time in Italy??

I am trying to coordinate a trip aroud Christmas traveling from the Almalfi Coast to Sicily during 18-27 of December and cannot seem to find any time tables for trains running? Does the train system shut down around Christmas? Also, does anyone know how long travel time is from the Almafi Coast to Sicily by train?

Jessica,

Yes, trains will be running. I suspect that your problem is that you are entering travel dates beyond the time when new timetables will take effect all across Europe (around 9 December). Apparently the new timetables haven't been loaded on the Trenitalia site yet. Go to www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html and enter a date no later than the first week in December and you should be able to see complete timetables and fares.

If the timetables change at all, it should be by no more than a few minutes one way or the other.
