A high speed Frecciarossa train is now used on the Turin to Lecce journey, in place of what had been a Frecciabianca train.
This Frecciarossa train takes a different 'high speed' route between Turin and Bologna, via Torino Porta Susa station, so that station now has a new direct connection with Bari.
This train is usually scheduled to depart daily from Torino Porta Nuova station at 09:20 and Torino Porta Susa at 09:30.
Final Destinaton: Lecce
This train also calls at: Ancona and Pescara and Bari
Type of Scenery: Coast
Star Rating: **
This Frecciarossa train uses the high speed lines between Torino and Bologna.
Once the train has travelled around 20 mins south of Rimini, if your seat is on the left* you'll be able to experience one of the best coastal train journeys in all of Europe - and the intermittent coastal views continue as far south as Bari
For much of this part of the trip, the beach is all that separates The Adriatic from the train - a highlight of the trip is just to the north of Ancona.
*If your seat isn't on the left, temporarily move over to one which is.
Italo trains don't operate on this route.
If you are new to travelling by train in Italy, we also recommend taking a look at our Italian Train Travel Guide.
