#switzerland #train #railroad #travel #zurich #florence #italy

To mark the extension of their cooperation, the two railway companies have also presented a new Eurocity train that will run between the two countries.

An additional connection from Zurich to Milan and Venice will also be introduced from 2026, the Federal Railways said in a statement on Friday.

With the signing of a cooperation agreement at Milano Centrale station on Friday, the two companies extended their multi-year collaboration.

The partnership between Trenitalia and the Federal Railways began in 2009 and has been a success, according to the statement. The two railway companies have already transported 30 million travellers between Italy and Switzerland.
