My husband and myself need to get from Varenna to Venice in May.
My concern is the regional train portion from Varenna to Milan Central train station.
Each time we have ridden that hour route in the past, mid mornings, it's been SRO, hot, and just uncomfortable. We have had to stand in the train car entry way, shoulder to shoulder , with nothing to hang onto, getting kneecapped by strollers and luggage each time the train ride got bumpy.
I know we could get a private car, maybe $150? But that seems like overkill, since we still need to meet a train at Milan Central for Venice.
Does anyone know about any shared shuttle services? I can't find anything by googling.
Other options?
I've always wondered if we rode two stops backwards, if the train might be less full. However, each time the train has come into Varenna, it's already stuffed to the gills with folks.
Or- would an early early early train have seats? As a regional train, there are no seat reservations.
Thanks do much!
