Train services between Bologna and Florence faced major disruptions today due to a technical fault on a high-speed Frecciarossa train.

The incident caused delays of over an hour for at least ten trains, with some passengers experiencing up to three-hour delays.

Trenitalia reported that the issue required rerouting and service adjustments, but operations are now gradually returning to normal.

Affected passengers are eligible for full ticket refunds or compensation, depending on the delay duration.

The incident highlights the challenges of Italy's saturated rail network, where even minor faults can lead to widespread disruptions.

Trenitalia and Italo have assured passengers of improved compensation policies for future delays.
