Welcome to Flyertalk robbosawtell.
In addition to the main 'Europe' section that your thread has been moved to, we also have a
European rail travel section.
And Germany and Italy specific sections for general topics.
I can't answer your question myself, and sadly 'cross-posting' the same question in multiple threads (in different sections) is not allowed. If nobody comes along with an answer in this section you could try requesting a moderator moves your thread over into the European rail section.
