score:6
After finding the aforementioned RFI Timetable, I can comfortably put that fear of not getting that train to programmed mishaps and be assured that my train is scheduled as bought.
Indeed, on summer periods, ICN1975
does go from Roma Termini onto Siracusa departing at 20:13.
But at Messina Centrale, the train split up between the continuing ICN1975
and the new ICN1957
that continues to Palermo. No changes necessary
What caused the confusion, is that that train change is nowhere to be seen on Trenitalia's website, from a booking perspective I would only ride on 1975
, which ends at Siracusa, and not on 1957
. And that the 22:13
given by ViaggiaTreno doesn't exist in official timetable
Update :
Done that trip and the train got to Palermo as expected on time
