Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report, this time from Lake Como in Italy. In this video I will be travelling on the all new Hitachi Caravaggio, a double deck regional train cropping up all over Italy for both Trenitalia and Trenord.
This trip starts at the mainline station in Como, that being Como San Giovanni. There is also Como Lago, which is at the end of a branchline. Being surrounded by the Alps and of course Lake Como itself, the departure is very scenic - best enjoyed from the top-deck of course. The train will continue down through various towns, then to Monza, before starting the final approach to Milan, and terminating at Milano Porta Garibaldi.
The train's design is certainly unique, with its bright colours and sharp front end. Overall, the interior delivers a decent way to travel for short regional trips. It's the same as the Trenitalia units, which are known as the 'Rock'.
With this train being made at the notorious Pistoia factory by Hitachi, I was keen to see how it performed, and to be honest it surprised me! Watch the video to find out why.
