Hi all - i am trying to book train tickets from Milan to Venice on 5th Oct but the trenitalia website does not show any trains available, however there are trains available before the 4th and after the 5th. Does anyone have any idea why this is the case?

The Trainline website shows Italotreno tickets available for October 5 whereas all of Trenitalia’s tickets are listed as “Unavailable.”
It’s likely a problem within Trenitalia’s platform.
You can book Italotreno tix directly at www.Italotreno.com

Kenko is not accurate when he states that the Trainline has no Trenitalia tickets available.
It has no DIRECT tickets available. However, just like Trenitalia's own website, it
has tickets available changing trains at Verona.
As 5 October is a Sunday it suggests there may be some engineering work planned to happen, but currently unconfirmed.

And I’m sure those indirect trains that take longer to get to Venice are precisely what Alvin would be interested in hearing about.
He could always buy tix through Trenord—if he wanted to dilly dally all day on trains. But I imagine he wants to get to Venice from Milan as expeditiously as possible and—for $20 in 2.5 hours on October 5– Italo is the way to go.

Oct 5th is a Sunday. It is also more than two months away.
Trenitalia only opens sales for a train when they are sure that it runs (this is different from, eg. DB or ÖBB which will happeily sell youi a ticket, then cancel the train and just send you a confusing email).
So there is probably engineering planned that day, and they have not finalised yet which trains will run, and to what schedul;e. Check again in September.
