Journey Features
Good to Know
There are also express Frecciabianca and InterCity trains from Bologna to Modena.
ShowMeTheJourney doesn't recommend taking those trains if you will be commencing your journey in Bologna - they're more expensive and the extra cost is difficult to justify for such a short journey.
Although if you will be heading to Modena from destinations further south and taking a Frecce train to Bologna, then taking one of those express services on to Modena can be a good option.

Final Destination:
The RGV trains - Piacenza or Milano;
The REG trains - Parma
These trains will normally depart from the Ovest concourse in Bologna station.
