Hi Peter
There is a Night Train Running from Vienna to Livorno (Ferry connection) and v.v. There are only a few journeys over the summer period.
The details are:
Wien Meidling dep 20:29 EN 1137 Toscana Mare (train name)
Livorno Centrale arr 08:56
Duration: 12:27
Livorno Centrale dep 19:25 EN 1144
Wien Meidling arr 08:55
It does not run every day, but includes feasible early morning Italy set-downs in Bologna, Florence and Pisa, and evening Italy pick-ups in Pisa, Florence, Bologna, Ferrara, Rovigo, Padua and Udine.
I don't know what the fees and supplements are but would think that they would be similar to other night trains.
Hope this is helpful to some Interailers and Eurailers.
Cheers
Richard
