- I find the train classes interesting because when I rode them a few
- years back they had: Rapido : local, Diretto : express,
- Direttissimo : IC intercity with surcharge if under 100 km trip. If
- the current postings are accurate, it seems that FS has a more
- moderate perspective of the speed of their trains. The notations
- that I experienced may have been left over from "Il Duce".
