ÖBB plans train routes between Berlin and Italy (2027+)

Posted by (Schwerin) on

Last week, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) announced two new direct train connections between Berlin and Milan and Naples. This is according to documents from Schienencontrol Gmbh, the Austrian regulatory authority for rail transport.

Accordingly, a daily direct connection between Berlin-Hauptbahnhof and Südkreuz to Milan in both directions is to be established from mid-June 2027. Intermediate stops include Verona, Bolzano, Brenner, Innsbruck and Munich.

According to the information provided, the second connection will go into operation in mid-June 2028. This will connect Berlin Central Station and Südkreuz with Bolzano, Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples, among others.

Tren Italia high-speed trains are to be used for this.

Its actually a Trenitalia - DB initiative. But since it passes through Austria the ÖBB is of course also going to be involved. Trenitalia will operate the train till Brennero, then from there on ÖBB will drive the train to Kufstein, where DB will take over.

And since you need to apply for train paths sufficiently in advance, and that info is public in Austria some details have thus become knowns.
