Regionale train travel tips

From bikes to pets and luggage, here are some handy Regionale travel tips you need to know for a more comfortable journey:

Bicycles
󱒃
You can board with a bicycle on select Regionale trains - look out for the special symbol when booking. Availability is limited and the fee is either an additional Second Class ticket or a €3.50 supplement. Foldable bikes are allowed on all Regionale trains for free when folded down and stored in a bag as luggage.
Boarding with Pets
󱒃
You can travel with pets on most Regionale trains. Small four-legged friends board for free when travelling in a container (maximum dimensions 70 x 30 x 50 cm). For bigger pets, you’ll need to buy an extra ticket, but there’s a 50% discount on the price. Be sure to keep them on their lead at all times. Assistance dogs are allowed for free on all routes.
Luggage
󱒃
There’s no fee for travelling with luggage on Regionale trains as long as your bags fit in the designated storage spaces. There are overhead racks on all trains and some even have bigger luggage racks at the end of the carriage. Dangerous or foul-smelling items are not allowed and bags mustn’t obstruct the aisles.
Accessibility
󱒃
If you use a wheelchair or have reduced mobility, you’ll be pleased to know that reserved seating and special assistance are available on all Regionale trains. Many stations have step-free access, ramps and lifts, too. It’s a good idea to reserve assistance in advance with Trenitalia.
