Hi. I didn't see an answer in the October 2024 thread so posting my own thread. I'm freaking out a little.
We are staying in Monterosso in Cinque Terre and planning to travel to Rome on October 18. Per the official strike site, these 2 strikes are happening that day.
AL-COBAS | Trasporto pubblico locale | PERSONALE ADDETTO AL TRASPORTO PUBBLICO LOCALE | 24 ORE CON MODALITA' TERRITORIALI | Nazionale
And
OSP CUB TRASPORTI | Trasporto pubblico locale | PERSONALE SOC. AMTS DI CATANIA | 4 ORE: DALLE 10.00 ALLE 14.00 | Locale
I'm assuming I don't have to worry about the second one. It's just Catania, right? I translated the first one but not sure what it means.
Our plan is to take the 7:30a Regionale train from Monterosso to La Spezia and then change to a Frecciargento at 8:16a direct to Roma Termini. All other options involve Regionale, Regionale Veloce, or Intercity trains which I assume will all be problematic
Am I correct that the AL-COBAS strike effects regional trains, including the Cinque Terre trains between the towns, but not the Frecciargento trains? If so then looks like I need to find an alternative way to La Spezia, correct?
The strike doesn't list specific hours, but just says 24 hours. Should I assume this is from midnight to 11:59p on the 18th?
Thank you for any insight you can offer!
