International passenger trains
At the moment there are various types of international trains in Italy which are usually commercialised by separate units. There are various commercial units which commercialise, set ticket prices and service standards but DO NOT operate the trains. They are the following: - Artesia: 50% owned by Trenitalia, 50% owned by SNCF French Railways. The company mainly commercialises TGV services from Paris to Milan and night trains with normal EuroCity carriages from various cities in Italy to Paris. Both the night and the day trains are operated by SNCF in France and Trenitalia in Italy. For TGVs the train drivers, the train managers and the ticket collectors change in Modane station (a station on the French border). The bar is operated all the way through by Cremonini. For night trains a locomotive change is done as well. The bed carriage staff is operated by an outside company. The trains at the moment do not operate with Artesia colours.
- Cisalpino: Cisalpino started commercialising pendolino services between Switzerland and Italy. The company is owned by Trenitalia and SBB CFF FFS (Swiss Federal Railways). The staff onboard the trains operates like Artesia: in Italy Trenitalia, in Switzerland SBB CFF FFS and in Germany DB. The restaurant car is operated by Cremonini. Cisalpino recently took over the commercialisation of EuroCity trains between Switzerland and Italy (previously commercialised by Trenitalia and SBB CFF FFS themselves). The carriages have been fully repainted in Cisalpino colours (like the pendolino trains) and one single Cisalpino locomotive is used (no locomotive change takes place on the border). As mentioned all Cisalpino trains operate in Cisalpino colours.
- Elipsos: It is a company 50% owned by SNCF and 50% owned by RENFE (Spanish Railways). The company's trains are operated by Trenitalia in Italy. The trains run between Milan and Barcellona with RENFE carriages. The staff onboard are all from the Compagnie des Wagons Lits (with Elipsos badges). The train manager is from RENFE throughout the journey but 2 Trenitalia staff are present during the journey in Italy for security reasons. The locomotive in Italy is owned and operated by Trenitalia. In Modane the locomotive is changed and an SNCF one is used and finally on the Spanish border a RENFE locomotive runs the train to Barcellona.
- TILO: It is the first company which actually operates the service. It is 50% owned by Trenitalia and 50% owned by SBB CFF FFS and runs the regional services between Italy and Switzerland. The staff run the trains over the border but keep Trenitalia and SBB CFF FFS contracts. At the end of 2007 39 train drivers will work exclusively for TILO.
There are two other brands which at the moment do not commercialise the service: The Cisalpino Inside Cisalpino The Cisalpino is a high-speed train that interconnects Stuttgart, Basel, Geneva, Zürich, Milan, Venice, and Florence. ...
