How to use Italo — High-Speed Rail

Italo runs high-speed trains between Italian cities, including Salerno to Rome. A ticket is valid for one specific train, date and time, with an assigned seat, and — unlike an Italian regional ticket — it does not have to be validated before you board.

    Available

    Getting on, and validating your ticket

    2. Confirm the platform shown for that train.

    • An Italo high-speed ticket does not need to be validated or checked in before you board. This is different from Italian regional tickets, which do have to be validated before boarding.
    • Some stations may check your ticket before letting you through to the platform.

  4. Get off

    Available

    Leaving the service at your stop

    Journiemon has not verified a tap-out step for this service; your ticket is checked on board.
