"The strike action is set to begin at 9pm on Thursday and will run until 9pm on Friday, unions have confirmed. Walkouts are expected to impact interregional and long-distance routes, though national rail operator Trenitalia confimed it would guarantee some essential services. The rail strike is expected to affect interregional and long-distance train services operated by Trenitalia and Italo, though there were no announcements of specific cancellations from either company as of Tuesday morning."
"Northern regional company Trenord warned that the strike could impact its "regional, suburban, airport, and long-distance services," and said that any affected links to Milan's airports on Friday would be replaced by a bus service. National rail operator Trenitalia typically guarantees services from 6am to 9am and from 6pm to 9pm to ensure essential travel during rush hour periods. You can find full details of guaranteed services in each Italian region on Trenitalia's website (under treni garantiti: ricerca per regioni)."
A 24-hour general strike will run from 9pm on Thursday until 9pm on Friday and will affect rail, flights, buses, metros, and other public transport across Italy. Interregional and long-distance train services operated by Trenitalia and Italo are expected to be hit, with northern operator Trenord warning of impacts to regional, suburban, airport and long-distance services and replacement buses for affected Milan airport links. Trenitalia typically guarantees services 6am–9am and 6pm–9pm and provides regional lists of guaranteed trains via its website and Infomobilita app, plus a toll-free customer number. Airline and airport staff participation could cause flight delays, and local transport in major cities is likely to be disrupted.
