Working On:
Verona's infrastructure and transport. Not easy to find acceptable sources. From the tutorials, it does not even look like the website with routes would be acceptable. Working on paraphrasing what little I could that contributes to the article.
After Edits:
Infrastructure and transport edit
Railways edit
Verona lies at a major route crossing where the north-south rail line from the Brenner Pass to Rome intersects with the east-west line between Milan and Venice, giving the city rail access to most of Europe. This Verona to Brennero connection is part of the larger European corridor between Hamburg and Naples.[1] In addition to regional and local services the city is served by direct international trains to Zurich, Innsbruck and Munich and by overnight sleeper services to Paris and Dijon (Thello), Munich and Vienna (ÖBB).
Verona's main station is Verona Porta Nuova railway station, to the south of the city centre. Verona's rail is part of a mixed system, with the tracks servicing both freight and passenger trains. [2] The rail-road terminal has 15 tracks, divided between three modules.[3] It is considered to be the ninth busiest railway station in Italy, handling approximately 68,000 passengers per day, or 25 million passengers per year.[4] The main stretch of the Italian portion of the track, between Milan and Verona, is about 140 km in length. [2]
There is a lesser station to the east of the city at Porta Vescovo, which used to be the main station in Verona, but now only receives trains between Venice and Porta Nuova.
Airport edit
Verona Airport is located 10 km (6.2 mi) southwest of Verona, and acts as a secondary regional airport to Venice.[5] In 2012, the Verona Airport had 3,152,081 passengers pass through it.[6] Verona and Brescia are operated by the same airline management, and between 2006-2016, the two airports combined for an average of 3,103,782 passengers a year.[7] It is linked to Porta Nuova railway station by a frequent bus service.[4]
There are direct flights between Verona and Rome Fiumicino, Munich, Berlin, Moscow, Naples, Frankfurt, Catania, Paris Charles De Gaulle, London Gatwick, Dublin, Palermo,Cork, Manchester, Vienna Schwechat, Liverpool[8] and Cagliari among others.
