Tain travel

Posted by rjoshi52 on 04/05/23 05:25 PM

We are from the US and purchased a Eurail pass for three days of train travel in Italy. Through Eurail website we booked train journeys in Italy via Trennitalia. We received our Trenitalia tickets on line. When printed the tickets show the following
Departure station
Arrival Station
Train (Frecciarossa) , Service (Business), Coach number, seat number.

There is QR code on the ticket

My question is as follows: With this printed ticket do I need to go to the train station and have this ticket and my Eurail pass validated by someone or can I just go to the train and show this printed ticket to the conductor when asked?
Please let me know how this works. If I need to get it validated at a ticket counter first I will leave early to give me time to get things done
Thanks

Can’t imagine how a Eurail pass for 3 days in Italy would be cost effective
You could have just purchased point to point tickets on Trenitalia website

Anyway- your tickets won’t need validating

You simply present the QR code to the conductor and they scan it

I have no idea how Eurail passes work these days, but it used to be the case that, for some of them, you needed to make an entry on a Eurail pass document before each trip. I think this was to be sure you didn't take more trips than you had paid for. It's possible that step is no longer required, but I'm just not sure.
