I cannot say thank you enough for making this game happen! ! !

I visit the forum daily but haven't visited the quiz section for a while , hence only discovering this game today.

So here is my first international move. Hopefully legit. Arriving in St Gilgen early on a Sunday morn doesn't give us too many onward options. We would like to take to the water but the first ferry isn't till 0900.
We go for a walk along the shore of the lake to kill the time. 2 hours 45 minutes of it.
We return to the scene of our arrival to board the...

0650 number 150 to Bad Ischl, Bahnhof ( Busterminal ) arriving at 0723 on Sunday morning.

We have just over half an hour to grab a bite to eat and admire this lakeside location.

Then we board ATV bus number 183, the 2146 to Peschiera Fs in Peschiera del Garda arriving at 2307 on Sunday night.

[dzug2]

The 183 bus is still running, and Lake Garda still has its attraction for us, so we take the 2316 departure back to Bardolino where we arrive at 2342 Sunday evening

That's all folks for the buses round here for the night.

Please note the bus stop is simply called Verona. It is just outside the railway station on Piazzale Aprile 25.

We then take the 1232 Bus 310to Campo di Trens/Frienfeldarriving at 1251 Monday Afternoon

While we are in the multilingual Süd Tirol region I think it would assist all players if the name of the place was given in both languages to make it easier to find timetables

 

[Bodie]

Finding exactly where our 310 service drops us in Campo Di Trens/Freienfeld is not something we will ever find out for sure without visiting in real life. It would seem.

Not to worry as the place is only wee.
Seems to me all the probable drop off places are within the half mile allowance of the game.

Also I think the last move was perfectly planned as we have 40 minutes to get to the railway station for a train at a station that doesn't see many trains.

So we leave Campo di trens/Freienfeld at 1332 aboard TrenItalia Regionale Veloce 2261 to Bologna Centrale arriving at 1754 on Monday afternoon.

Just over 20 minutes after we arrive, the Eurostar rolls in. Eurostar? Yes, Eurostar!

As we're curious to what it is, we board service ES 9549 at 18:17. By the time we've seen what this is about, we're at the terminus of Salerno, at 22:44 on the Monday evening

Still willing to get to Salerno, we find ourselves lucky!
At 22:03, a service departs to that place, ICN 799.

We have a nice sleep on the night train, and arrive at our terminus (and destination) at 09:12 on Tuesday morning

 

[ooo]

We then take IC723 leaving at 1029 to its destination of Palermo Centrale where we arrive on Tuesday Evening at 1900
bahn.de

 

[Bodie]

The TrenItalia site gives IC 723 as an hour earlier. 0929 dep and a 1800 arrival into Palermo.
Is it 1800 or 1900 at Palermo Centrale?

Also just out of curiosity, would I be right if I said the above journey now makes its passengers get off and board a ferry and get another train once on the island?
Of course it's all run as 723, so valid but real shame no train ferry anymore, or so I read.

1. My trenitalia says it's also 10:29 departure, 19:00 arrival.
2. No, train goes onto the ferry! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJXprbRYcos

 

[Bodie]

Hmm, how come we seem to be using the same website but getting a different time?
I was reading online that as of this year Trenitalia had ended all but one of the direct trains, and that is two trains and a ferry rather then a train ferry.

I'm happy to be out voted two to one on the time. Doesn't make a great deal of difference.

1900 Palermo Centrale, Tuesday evening is our location and time.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 1930 Prestia e Comande bus out to the airport, (PMO) where we arrive at 2025 Tuesday evening
