The #Milan-#Rome high-speed rail: one of the busiest long-distance routes in Europe.
A mini-thread about evolution of supply before&after #covid.
This is the current weekly timetable: 89 trains/day per direction (of which 84 HS), for two companies, @lefrecce and @italotreno

Peak frequency is quite incredible. For example btw 5pm and 6pm there is a HS train every 5 to 15 minutes (per direction)!
2019 supply was... a bit lower, approx 85 trains/day. This is a good news.
For comparison, 2008 (before HS) trains were 27/day/dir, of which 18 fast.

The evolution is interesting: the chart represents supply (ball size) and speed (x axis) from 2008 to 2022.
Supply grew since 2012, when competition started.
Comm. speed has been constant until 2019.

But trains became slower.
Not only faster trains slowed, but some were converted in a sort of "omnibus" calling at many stations. E.g. Torino-3 stops in Milano-ReggioEmilia-Bologna-Firenze-2 stops in Roma... or pass via Genova
Slower, but more accessibility thanks to frequency!
