taly is considering building a $7 billion bridge from Calabria to Sicily across the Strait of Messina. It would be both the largest suspension bridge and tallest bridge in the world, making it a feat of engineering. It could boost the local economies, increase tourism, improve relations between the people of southern Italy, and demonstrate Italy’s engineering prowess. However, it would also come with many budget, engineering, and infrastructure issues. Whether it will ever be constructed, we will have to wait and see.

Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report, this time from Lake Como in Italy. In this video I will be travelling on the all new Hitachi Caravaggio, a double deck regional train cropping up all over Italy for both Trenitalia and Trenord. This trip starts at the mainline station in Como, that being Como San Giovanni. There is also Como Lago, which is at the end of a branchline. Being surrounded by the Alps and of course Lake Como itself, the departure is very scenic - best enjoyed from the top-deck of course. The train will continue down through various towns, then to Monza, before starting the final approach to Milan, and terminating at Milano Porta Garibaldi. The train's design is certainly unique, with its bright colours and sharp front end. Overall, the interior delivers a decent way to travel for short regional trips. It's the same as the Trenitalia units, which are known as the 'Rock'. With this train being made at the notorious Pistoia factory by Hitachi, I was keen to see how it performed, and to be honest it surprised me! Watch the video to find out why. #trenord #hitachicaravaggio #trip report

FEATURE LENGTH video! Here's my trip on the epic Intercity Notte sleeper train from Milan down to Palermo on the island of Sicily. This is a must-complete trip for any serious rail enthusiast - from the awesome Milano Centrale station to the splendid tunnels at Genoa, to the beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast and the unique shunting operation at Villa san Giovanni onto the ferry for the short ride to Messina, this is a train trip that has just about everything (except a DINING CAR!). Thank you for clicking on this video and I hope you enjoy this especially long vlog of this trip, filmed during the gorgeous Italian summer this year.

Gorgeous, that is all wine grapes I am assuming.

That's pretty awesome.

That's pretty awesome.

The last train ferry in all of Europe. The one between Rødby (Denmark) and Puttgarden (Germany) closed down on 14 December 2019 and will be replaced by a tunnel.

It's sad, I love those old timey charms about Europe. Tunnels and stuff need a lot of monitoring and maintenance I doubt they really merit the money for how much traffic actually goes through those places.

It's actually one of Europe's main corridors, so it will take a load of those living in the area. Unfortunately jobs will also be lost.
