Take your pick of high speed trains in Milano. And a Rock
It’s so nice travelling by train in Italy. Pity #CrossBorderRail hasn’t brought me here very much! (Not many borders)

Every time VP of Grand Est Philipps has uttered anything about these trains, the regional press has been all too happy to transcribe it
Today *when the train actually runs*: nothing (at least not yet)
Almost as if you need a press release to make news…
About this Régiolis finally running, I’m not sure quite what to expect. I think today was determined most by operational logic, so I’m not sure there’ll be a big press thing about it.
But VP of Grand Est Philipps always makes a big song and dance about everything…
According to @hopla it looks like Régiolis is actually running France - Germany today, as planned https://zug.network/@hopla/116514407465211628
Also some panel in the interior of this ex-FYRA ETR700 is vibrating and rattling. Makes for a rather loud journey.
