Hello everyone,
We are leaving for Italy today, and I just read about the planned train strike for May 6. On May 6 we have train tickets to go from Milan to Parma on Frecciarosso Train #8809. When I checked Trenitalia's website, I notice that the following message is next to our train and a few others, but not all the trains. "Train Solution Temporarily Not Available for the Selected Date." Why is this message next to a few trains, but not all of them?
Is it possible the strike could be cancelled before May 6? Does that ever happen? Does Trenitalia provide bus service instead? I have the Trenitalia app on my phone, and right now everything looks ok. There aren't any messages about the strike.
Should I try to find a private driver to drive us to Parma? I have the name of a company we are using later on during our trip. But I hate to commit the money if the strike doesn't happen.
I would appreciate any ideas, suggestions, information. Our ride is picking us up in 2 hours to drive to the airport.
Thanks,
Karen
