Not so long ago I read an article about how Trenitalia is among the best European rail companies in all the metrics, from price-quality to delays (or lack thereof).
Italians complain about trenitalia as if it were a national sport and they rarely can’t understand that the country has one of the best railway systems of Europe. This kind of news about other European rail companies are always a joy to share with an Italian “tossing down the calendar” (Italian idiom for saying blasphemies) about trenitalia because they simply can’t process it.
When I went to Italy I thought I must have some sort of perception bias because the Italian trains seemed so much better than any I got in the UK, so I checked the stats and it turns out they are just better. Though going through Milan I did see 2 departures that were delayed by 5 and 17 hours, and I don’t know if that’s better or worse than the cancellations.
