Agree with the above poster. The faster eurostar is more expensive and alternate between slower less expensive Intercity IC trains that make more stops. The price ranges from 25 euros to 45 euros on that route depending on the train and departure time. The ticket machine has english language option and you can pick the date, route, all the departure times, and price for each train - very very useful to help you plan ahead. I would go to the train station ahead of time to buy ticket to avoid sold out situations if you have to take a certain train. The machine accepts cash and credit cards. For IC trains, you sit anywhere you want within a certain sections of the train. There are overhead compartments to store your luggage. I really like the trains in Italy, comfortable, clean.
