Two of Europe's coolest cities will soon be connected by high-speed train
Europe has loads of really brilliant cities, but two of the most magnetic, fun, and effortlessly cool have to be Naples and Berlin – and soon, they'll be connected by a direct high-speed train.
Italian operator Trenitalia has reportedly just submitted multiple new international services to the Austrian railway regulator (whose territory would be crossed by them) and a Berlin-Naples high-speed train was included in the proposal.
It would connect the southern Italian city with the German capital via Rome, Florence, Bologna, Verona, Bolzano, Innsbruck, Munich, Nuremberg and Erfurt – that's a pretty exciting route, right?
There's still a bit of a wait before the service is launched – another three years, to be exact, on June 11, 2028. But rail fans needn't fret, as this service is far from the only newcomer on Trenitalia's proposal.
Also on the list were the Rome-Florence-Bologna-Munich and Milan-Munich services, which will both go via Verona and Innsbruck and are set to debut on December 13, 2026.
Then there's the Milan -Berlin high-speed train which will travel via Verona, Innsbruck, Munich and Nuremberg, scheduled to launch on June 13 2027, and a Naples-Munich service that should begin departures from December 12, 2027.
It looks like all the services would run once a day in each direction, using the operator's flagship Frecciarossa 1000 high-speed trains (which seat 450 passengers and offer four different ticket classes).

Chelsea make final decision on Mike Maignan transfer before Club World Cup
Chelsea have failed to reach an agreement with AC Milan to sign Mike Maignan before the Club World Cup, according to reports. The Premier League club were keen on signing Maignan as an upgrade to their current goalkeeping options. The experienced Frenchman has won the Serie A title with Milan and has just one year left on his deal with the Italian giants. Both clubs have been locked in talks over the past week to try and agree a deal which would allow the 29-year-old to move to Stamford Bridge and play for Enzo Maresca's side in the upcoming Club World Cup. However, transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano now reports that a deal will not be agreed before Tuesday's 7pm deadline, with both clubs unable to agree on a valuation for the keeper. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Milan are said to be demanding at least £20m for Maignan, who is keen on a move to Chelsea this summer. However, the Blues are reportedly unwilling to pay more than £12-15m, with Maresca happy with his current options between the sticks. Despite an inconsistent season at times, Robert Sanchez still retains the faith of his head coach, with Filip Jorgensen, Djojrde Petrovic and Mike Penders all set to provide competition during pre-season. One goalkeeper on his way out of Chelsea is Kepa Arrizabalaga, the most expensive shot-stopper in the world now set to join London rivals Arsenal. Chelsea could still pursue a deal for Maignan when the window reopens later in the summer, but may opt to wait until next summer when the Frenchman is expected to leave Milan on a free. Elsewhere, Chelsea remain in talks to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens after their opening bid was rejected by the Bundesliga side. More Trending Personal terms are said to have already been agreed with the winger, but Dortmund want a fee of €50-60m (£42-50m) to part ways with the Englishman. A deal for Gittens is also not expected to be completed before Tuesday's Club World Cup deadline, but the Blues remain keen to complete the deal later in the window. Chelsea have already made three signings this summer following deals for Liam Delap, Dario Essugo and Mamadou Sarr. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

High street round-up: Frasers Dundee opens, new Dunfermline world buffet and Montrose Chinese restaurant plans
Dundee's new Frasers department store opening and a new world buffet in Dunfermline are among the latest developments on high streets across Tayside, Fife and Stirling. The Courier has rounded up the latest from pubs, restaurants, shops and hotels across the region in one handy place. Our regular updates will bring you up to speed with what's going on in your local high streets and shopping centres. The new Frasers department store in Dundee's Overgate Shopping Centre opened on Friday. The shop is located over three levels in the unit formerly occupied by Debenhams. It combines Frasers, Sports Direct, USC and Game across 60,000 sq ft. Around 100 people queued to be the first inside Frasers when it opened on Friday morning, just before 11am. Shoppers were 'impressed' with the new department store, which they hope will increase footfall in the city centre. Matalan was rapped by Dundee City Council after carrying out unauthorised works at its city centre store. The retailer carried out work, which included moving checkouts, the erection of barrier gates and associated electrical works. A new Hotel Chocolat shop and cafe is set to open in St Andrews later this month. The luxury chocolate chain will open in the old Superdrug unit on Market Street on June 14. Dundee bar owner Andrew McMahon, who runs The West House and Top Dog Sports Bar, has taken over the former Boat Brae venue in Newport. The bar, which sits on the banks of the Tay, has been renamed Shoreline and opened on Friday. A Dundee pub is in line for a six-figure transformation after its roof was blown off during a storm. The Charleston Bar has been closed since sustaining severe damage during Storm Arwen in 2021, but plans are now being put in place to bring the pub back to life. The former Bridge of Allan Social Club is set to reopen as a community pub after major renovations. Over The Bridge will serve pints and pizza from Inverallan Road in July. World buffet chain Booffi has opened a new restaurant in the former Kinema building in Dunfermline. The buffet offers a variety of dishes from different cultures around the world, including Italian, Indian and Chinese. Perth's South Inch pavilion cafe has been reopened by the team behind Blend Coffee Lounge. Blend's Sundeep Salins says it's a privilege to become the latest stewards of a venue that holds so many warm memories for the people of Perth. A new Mediterranean restaurant has opened in the former Gulistan House in Broughty Ferry – but has had to change its name after a legal letter from an Edinburgh hotel firm. Iftikhar Ahmed had planned to open the venue under the name Le Monde, however, just days before opening, he received a letter stating the name was trademarked. A new Chinese restaurant named Panda Palace is set to open in Montrose town centre. An exact opening date has yet to be confirmed for the new Hume Street restaurant, which promises to bring the 'best of Chinese culinary traditions' to the Angus town.
