Trenitalia Revises Luggage Policy on High-Speed Trains

[Girr]

Effective 1 March, Frecciarossa, Frecciargento and Frecciabiana high-speed trains have new luggage regulations.  The new policy mandates a maximum of two bags per passenger, and new size limitations based on class of ticket.  Second, standard and premium class passengers are limited to luggage with total dimensions not to exceed 161 centimeters per bag.  First, executive and business class travelers will be allowed bags up to 183 centimeters each.  

 

Additionally, each piece of luggage must have a visible label with the owner's contact information.  

 

Travelers who exceed the limitations in size or number of bags are subject to a 50 Euro fine.  One of the articles I read also said they could direct you offload belongings at the next station.  

 

So far, the rules are only being implemented on the high-speed trains.

Those rules tie into most airline rules (usually 158 centimeters per bag).  Hard to imagine that Trenitalia will enforce rules, but who knows...It Is Italy :).

I looked on there website and googled it. There was nothing mentioned about a baggage policy update. Forcing you to leave luggage at the next station seems really harsh. Anywhere to see this policy update?
