Trains! Need to Know Info and What To Do When Things Go Wrong

<p>On some of our first train journeys in Italy, amid the cacophony of voices and stress not wanting to miss our train, we were so overwhelmed we forgot some of the standard information to look for, like the train number, the carriage number, and how to use the departures board to find our platform. We&#39;ll tell you everything you need to know to get to your train with the least amount of stress possible. </p><p>We&#39;ll also talk about some of the most common things that could go wrong and what to do. &quot;I have a big suitcase, where do I put it?,&quot; &quot;There&#39;s someone in my seat, should I ask them to move?,&quot; &quot;There is a train strike, is my train cancelled?&quot; Or, even worse, &quot;I&#39;ve missed my train; help!&quot;. </p><p><br></p><p>Likewise, you can check out our article on &quot;<a href="https://www.onlyabag.com/post/what-to-do-if-you-missed-your-train-in-italy" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">What to do if you missed your train in Italy</a>&quot;.</p><p><br></p><p>Here are links to guaranteed trains in case of a strike.
