Milano / Milan / Mailand to Torino / Turin by train

Frecciarossa and Frecciarossa 1000 trains operated by Trenitalia share the high-speed line between Milano and Torino/Turin, with Italo trains.
They have similar speeds, so the differences between them are to do with the on-board experiences, check out the 'Trains' guides below. and the fact that tickets for the Italo trains and Frecce trains can be purchased from different online booking agents - it's a route on which you can save by booking in advance.

In addition to those trains which rush down the high speed line, there are Regionale (RV) trains which still travel along the older 'classic' route
So they're much slower, but if you want to save when booking tickets, particularly at the last minute, they'll be much cheaper
Eurail and InterRail pass users can also use them and avoid the rail pass reservation fees payable on the 'Frecce' trains.
