Train strike in Italy: disruptions expected on July 23 and 24
Travelers in Italy will face significant disruptions to rail transport in the coming days. A national strike by railway staff has been announced, which will affect the entire network across the country.
The industrial action will begin at 9:00 PM on Thursday, July 23, and will conclude at 8:59 PM on Friday, July 24, 2026. During these 24 hours, passengers may experience cancellations, delays, or changes to travel schedules on various regional and national routes.
The strike will also have repercussions on cross-border connections. In particular, the company TILO, which operates trains between Switzerland and Lombardy, has warned its users that service may be subject to interruptions or modifications due to the participation of Italian staff in the protest.
All commuters and tourists are advised to check the status of their train before setting off. It is possible to consult the official websites of the railway companies or dedicated applications to receive real-time updates on the traffic situation.
Authorities are urging travelers to plan their journeys carefully, seeking alternatives where possible, to minimize the inconvenience caused by this day of strike action.
