3.4.3 Pilot trains from Adriatic Ports to Baden-Wuerttemberg/Bavaria
Physical features:
• ulm - Venice (rVdi)
Departing terminal
Arrival terminal
Ulm
Port of Venice, handling stop in Melzo
Due to the fact, that the demand structure
does not allow a further direct maritime connection
(beside the train Munich/Ulm-Trieste)
between Baden-Württemberg/Bavaria and
Adriatic ports, this connection uses the pilot
train from Ulm to Melzo as basis within a combination
of demands. The intermodal platform
Melzo offers trains to the port of Venice, where
a wide maritime network is available.
