Nationwide Rail Strike Disrupts Italian Travel

Published: 2024-11-22

A nationwide rail strike in Italy is set to disrupt travel plans from 9 PM on November 23 to 9 PM on November 24, 2024. The strike, involving workers from Trenitalia, Trenord, and the Ferrovie dello Stato group, is expected to cause significant cancellations and delays across the country.

Passengers are advised to check train schedules and consider rescheduling their journeys.

Essential services will be maintained during peak hours, but no guarantees are provided for weekend travel.

The strike highlights ongoing disputes over national contract renewals, with workers demanding better pay, reduced hours, and recognition of their demanding work conditions.

Both Trenitalia and Italo have provided lists of guaranteed trains and refund options for affected travelers.
