Nessuno che consiglia Orario Treni? Indispensabile se si viaggia in treno, funziona con Italo, Trenitalia e pure i regionali.
Ti permette di acquistare, vedere il binario, cercare il treno, ricevere notifiche sui cambiamenti e molto altro. Usato per mesi la versione free ora che Google ha pagato un po' con i sondaggi sbroso per la versione premium.
Oltre a essere ben fatta, ha una sezione con lo storico dei biglietti comprati (Trenitalia, Italo e TreNord).
Ovviamente i biglietti devono essere acquistati con l'app o sul sito essendo loggato con lo stesso account.
>io ti dico perchè
Me lo dici proprio tu? Magari con una nota audio? :3 ^^^raga ^^^la ^^^solitudine ^^^è ^^^una ^^^brutta ^^^bestia
Ma per caso riesci anche a tener traccia dei biglietti degli utenti? C'era un'applicazione, questa che facendo il login con l'account di trenitalia scaricava automaticamente i biglietti.
Potresti fare un crosscheck: Se il treno è in ritardo da più di 10 minuti, tipo, e l'utente che sta usando la tua app ha un biglietto di quel treno, mandi una notifica push chiedendo "Hey il tuo treno è in ritardo, avvisa gli altri viaggiatori sul perché!" e si crea una sorta di sezione commenti
L'ho già detto sotto, ma ripeto in un commento top-level, magari aggiungendo altro
Bella idea, comunque :)
It's pretty easy to use the ticket machines, which are in all major stations. They can be switched between languages.
If that doesn't work for you, you can buy tickets from the staffed window, but there can be lines that are longer than at the machines.
Finally, there are apps for both Android and iOS. These work pretty well. I used them to search, but because I wanted paper tickets for souvenirs, I always went to a machine for a printed ticket.
"Train Timetable Italy" (iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/train-timetables-in-italy/id1033806401; Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.paoloconte.treni_lite) has the advantage that it shows trains from both of the major high-speed train operators, Trenitalia and Italo. It's a third-party app, and as I mentioned I only used it to search. But it's really useful for looking for trains, because then you'll know what to ask for at the ticket window, or at the machine.
Each of the train operators has their own app, both for Android and iOS, but they won't show the other operators' trains, which is why I found the Train Timetable Italy app useful.
The Trenitalia app "Trenit!" was particularly helpful because Trenitalia is the company operating the vast majority of trains in Italy which aren't high-speed. Their app allows you to track their trains in real time, even local services.
Best of luck!
A tip for your train travels: this (independently developed) android app rocks. Much better than the shitty Trenitalia official time tables.
Al momento uso Orario Treni - ma dagli screenshot la tua app sembra davvero ben fatta. La proverò di sicuro, grazie dell'heads up :D
AFIK they can't sell tickets for italian trains, I've been in contact with the team in the past and they promised to update me as soon as they got the ability, never heard back.
if you are on android I recomend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.paoloconte.treni_lite&hl=it
the free version let you buy train tickets
almost all train tickets here can be paperless, you will get an email with a PDF and a code named "PNR": you can either show the "qrcode" in the PDF or the PNR number to prove you have a valid ticket.
almost all train except "regionala" and "regionale veloce" have mandatory seat reservation so a coach numeber and seat number will be assigned to you when you buy the ticket and stated on the PDF.
Sempre sia lodata "orario treni" di Paolo Conte
If you have an android device this app is a godsend.
I don't know about the Pompeii ruins, but just about two days ago I heard back from some reddit user to whom a month ago I somewhat explained how to navigate Italian stations, and they were able to safely return back home :)
Besides, every main station have signage in both Italian and English (sorry for the tiny image), and announcements are made in English too (at least the most important ones).
Finally, if you have an Android phone, try to download this app. If I'm not wrong, the interface should switch to English if your phone is set to any language other than Italian, and it's a real trove of information about timetables, connections, prices, etc.
For everyting else, just ask... :)
Per quanto riguarda le API, forse il tizio di Orario Treni (altra app meravigliosa) ne sa qualcosa
There are three train types. You need to make a reservation for the Intercity and Freccia trains, while the Regionali don't need any reservation. You can read how to do it here: http://www.interrail.eu/plan-your-trip/guide-interrail-train-reservations/how-do-i-book-my-reservations You can book up to three months in advance for the trains.
This page says that Intercity, Eurostar Italia (Freccia ...) and Regionali trains are all included in the Interrail Italia Ticket, so I don't think you have to pay something in advance.
The advantage in taking a fast train instead of a normal regionale train is that the trip is much faster (Rome - Florence 1:30 instead of 3:30, Rome-Milan 3h instead of 9h) thanks to the speed of the train but also because the fast train do not stop in almost every station like the Regionali do...
Intercity and Freccia trains also have one electric plug for each seat and wi-fi (not sure the wifi is available on every train).
Have fun! ;)
I also suggest you this app for the train timetables, it's just better made and you can still make reservation/see where are the trains in real time: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.paoloconte.treni_lite&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.paoloconte.treni_lite Non serve aggiungere altro
vado OT ma è per una buona causa, se avete android siete fortunati perchè potete usare questo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.paoloconte.treni_lite&hl=it

You can use this app, there is also a map section
Milan is extremely expensive, especially so if you're a tourist doing tourist things. Since you're trying not spend an arm and a leg, I think it would make sense to be based in Torino and make a day trip to Milan.
If you want to get info about trains timetables, I can recommend this app. It's unofficial and much better than the official ones.
If I were you I'd look for a hotel/apartment near Porta Susa railway station in Torino. It's a relatively quiet area, and being close to the station allows you to have daily trips.
Consider visiting smaller cities, like Asti (half an hour train ride form Torino) and Alessandria (after Asti, half an hour further away) too.
Pros:
Cons:
Questo è il massimo per quel genere di cose
For trains, if you have internet a great android app is Trains Timetable Italy
