My partner and I are staying in Menaggio until September 8th, and are scheduled to be travelling from Como S Giovanni to Venezia San Lucia station on a Frecciarossia train which arrives in Venice at 10.45am Sept 8th. Now with the new strikes announced, this train probably won’t run.

The problem is that we need to be in Venice By 11/11.30am, but there are no trains from Como to Venice or even Milan to Venice on the guaranteed list for this time.

We’ve looked into everything - car rentals, flix buses, even staying overnight in Verona before heading to Venice early morning - but everything seems a dead end. Is there anything we are overlooking?? First time Italy travellers.

Any advice at all is appreciated to fix this!!!
