Hi there,
My friends and I are looking to do an interrail trip from the 13th of June to the 8th of April, and the first part of our journey is going to take place in Italy. The first place we want to visit is Florence, but our flight is from Edinburgh to Rome so we need to travel from Rome to Florence, we arrive at about 10:00 in Rome but the first train from there to Florence seems to be at about 18:00? From Florence we were then planning to meet up with a friend in Ljubljana on the 16th, but every connection we've found seems to involve many stops and most trains don't seem to leave Florence until well after 21:00, am I just being stupid and searching in the wrong places or are train connections during June really this infrequent?
Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated, i hope it's not me just searching in the wrong places or missing something really obvious here haha.

Hi Gillian!
I assume you are looking for schedules with the travel planner as described in this link: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
If you do so, then dont worry - there are only very few connections shown for the summer as the database of the travel planner isnt fully updated yet. In mid-june there is a minor timetable change each year, that's why the database has to be updated. Just enter a date prior to June 13th and you will find all the connections you need. Most connections will remain the same afterwards, there might be only some slight alterations.
So you can look for all your connections now and just check them again when the database is updated. :)
