What time to reach Italian Train stations to board train(s)?
I have following train schedules (departure times; all are on different dates):
08:05 Train Rome to Bari (Trenitalia.com, Frecciargento 9351)
06:00 Train Rome to Milano (Trenitalia.com, Frecciarossa 9600)
23:05 Train Milan to Paris (ItaliaRail.com, Thello 220, 6-Berth)
Confirmations with barcodes/PNR Numbers, with fixed day/time/coach/seat were emailed to me & I will print & bring.
My questions are:
- How early I need to reach Station/platform to board these? For example, for international flights, the minimum time is 3 hours before departure. What is the same time for these trains? My hotel is at 5/15 minute walking distance from Roma Termini.
- Do I still need to get these tickets stamped, given that these already have date/time mentioned & are bound to that specific train/coach?
