In the first phase of the service, fares will be kept unchanged at the current rates for all, both residents and tourists. The "5 Terre Express" will remain active until 1 November and will benefit both commuters and tourists with less crowded trains.
It is expected that La Spezia's many cruise ship passengers travelling to the Cinque Terre will be boarded at Migliarina Station, thus relieving congestion at La Spezia's Centrale Station.

* Traveler beware. We visited Migliarina station on May 30, and there was no notice on the schedule board or other signs about CT trains. There's also no one to ask, as there's no ticket window.
