Top man, im flying to Malpensa and just about to board.
Well I’m not impressed with my Italo train from Milan to Rome. We had an early departure so had to leave before breakfast was served at our hotel in Milan. I didn’t think that would be a problem as I’d get breakfast on the train.
But no! There’s no buffet car. There’s a vending machine that sells water, crisps and chocolate. There’s a separate vending machine for coffee, but that’s cash only (coins) and I don’t have any!
Without coffee and breakfast, I’m gonna be extremely grumpy by the time we get to Rome!
First world problems I know, especially after seeing @jackalbion ’s thread. Please stay safe everyone.

First chorus of "Seagulls" on the Easyjet flight from Gatwick. Quite a few Scots looking a bit baffled.
The final 4 words seem a little redundant.

We left Milan on the 6:35 Frecciarossa service and there IS a full on buffet car.
I’m so happy for you
Glad to hear you’re ok. Hope you make it to the game this evening.Nah complain about it, late trains are annoying
That’s what I travelled on yesterday. Watch out for the 7.5% beers !
It’s because 3 months is the maximum you can stay.
The service is ‘guaranteed’……possibly with replacement buses. I’m in the same position, might just grab a cab in the morning near the hotel anyway as it’s 30 mins to Termini
“On days when strikes are held, Trenitalia, Italy's national railway, guarantees minimum transport services. These services are a direct result of an agreement between Trenitalia and the trade unions.
Note for Leonardo Express passengers: You will be guaranteed your connection between Rome Termini and Fiumicino Airport with the "Leonardo Express" service or with replacement buses”

To compensate we’ve just done a slow track detour of Tuscany and are now due to arrive at Rome an hour late.I’m so happy for you
Hmm. What's your preference? Would be happy to share a cab if interested. I'm also around Termini. Flights at 9am and I'm a safety first bod so always like to get everywhere irritatingly early!The service is ‘guaranteed’……possibly with replacement buses.

Thanks - I’m not that early (10:40 flight) so 6am a bit early for me - I’ll check and decide over breakfast but will leave extra time just in case.
Oh how I’d love to be an hour late, whilst gorging on the delicacies offered up by the buffet car.
