ROME-MILAN TRAIN TIME UNDER THREE HOURS

(ANSA) - Rome, October 28 - Train travellers will be able to get from Rome to Milan in under three hours for the first time next month, Italian rail chief Mauro Moretti said Wednesday.

From December 13, he said, the fastest journey time from Roma Termini to Milano Centrale will be 2 hours 59 minutes.

The Roma Tiburtina-Milano Rogoredo trip will be even shorter, at two hours 45 minutes.

Today's new generation of Freccia Rossa trains have slashed journey times on Italy's main routes and become an increasingly attractive option for business travellers.
