Traveling by train anywhere in Europe is simple and their transportation system is well structured. We traveled from Rome to Florence and then did day trips for Florence to Pisa and Siena. We were able to do both places in one day. It required that we got up early.
We were shown an electronic board with the information as to which platform you train will be on and what time it will depart as soon as we arrive at the train station.
We got there just in time..we checked the board and the train was coming into the station so we jog to the platform. With no time to spare, we climbed on the train. One of our party was in a wheel chair? We found that in most of Italy's preparation for handicap people without prior arrangements was sparse. If you have this need you may want to make prior arrangements or have someone with you that can help you with the chair while you get out of it for short periods of time to get off curbs and up stairs. You can always reserve in advance for a first class train with a wheel chair lift.
In places that the wheelchair didn't have access our friend would get up and walk up the stair or board the train. We didn't know about 1st class.
There is usually a rack at the ends of each car for luggage and a shelf over the seats for smaller items. They offered a snack bar that had sandwiches and drinks in one of the cars located in the AV or fast trains. It was a bit pricy but that is what you would expect. You will have a reserved seat on the AV or fast trains. It help people be more friendly if you find and sit in that seat.
