  1. Fastest of all are the Frecce trains, they don't use the high speed line, but on these route they make fewer station calls.
  2. There are Intercity (IC) trains
  3. The slowest option are the Regionale Veloce (RGV) trains, they'll be the cheapest option when booking tickets at the station; you'll need to book in advance to save money when taking the Frecce and IC trains.
