Italy faces disruption to rail services across the country due to a 24-hour national general strike from 21.00 on Thursday 2 October until the same time on Friday 3 October.<\/p>\n
The strike, called by the\u00a0S.I. Cobas\u00a0trade union in\u00a0“support of the Palestinian resistance” and demanding an “end to the genocide” in Gaza,\u00a0is set to affect rail services operated by Trenitalia,\u00a0Trenord and\u00a0Trenitalia-Tper.<\/p>\n
Trenitalia said that its rail services could face “cancellations or changes”,\u00a0and published a list of guaranteed medium- and long-distance train journeys,\u00a0with travel information also available for each\u00a0region.<\/p>\n
Essential regional\u00a0train services are guaranteed in Italy during strikes on weekdays from 06.00 to 09.00 and from 18.00 to 21.00.<\/p>\n
Trenord – which operates rail services in the northern Lombardia region around Milan – said that in the event of airport trains being cancelled, direct buses to Malpensa will be set up to and from Milan Cadorna and Stabio.<\/p>\n
Also adhering to the strike are employees of Trenitalia-Tper,\u00a0which operates rail services in the northern Emilia-Romagna region, with travel information available on its website.<\/p>\n
Those flying in or out of Rome should note that rail connections to and from Fiumicino airport may experience delays or cancellations as a result of the strike.<\/p>\n
