Hi all--
In the past 3-4 years, when planning out the logistics of a couple trips by train to Southern Italy & Sicily that ended up being scrapped due to COVID and other family matters, I remember that the Salerno to Taormina stretch had at least one and possibly two changes of train.
Even though I realize I can't technically book until six months out from the day of travel, for our April 2025 trip I'm seeing this (for November dates):
Trenitalia #723 - LV Salerno 1039A; AR Taormina 424P.
I'm assuming that does include the train/ferry from Villa San Giovanni in Calabria to Messina in Sicily, which I'm very much looking forward to. But I'm seeing absolutely no changes of train on this leg, where you'd normally see it on the Trenitalia site. Now, I'm not complaining at all if this is the case, but I'd like to know for sure. Did Trenitalia actually make improvements to their service?! I know a Rome to Salerno nonstop has been introduced since we last traveled in 2017, so that's nice too!
Any insight from a Trenitalia vet on this forum? Thanks in advance!
