July 6th Train from Venice to Rome

Posted by on

I know this was talked about previously in this forum but I still have questions. I understand that between July 5 to July 9, there will be construction on the high speed line so there won't be any high speed trains running. I need to get from Venice to Rome on July 6th. I read somewhere in this forum that there would be replacement buses?

How reliable are those buses? What would an alternative to the high speed route look like?

How worried should I be about getting from Venice to Rome on July 6th 2026?

Thank you yall

It will work this way: high speed train from Venice to Florence Rifredi. You get down there, you switch to a shuttle bus doing a couple of miles within the city of Florence, to the Florence Campo di Marte station, where a matching train will be waiting. Of course changing to a bus will be an inconvenience especially if you are loaded with baggage, and when the thing was last done in January it got somewhat chaotic, in spite of having a lot of personnel guiding people and explaining. Alternatives? Not really. A long distance bus like Flixbus would be still much slower; an internal flight would again take a lot of time going to/from both airports. The best alternative could be reworking plans and traveling on a different day.
