			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-750" title="Artesia Day train" src="http://blog.raileurope.com/wp-content/inter008-164x164.jpg" alt="inter008" width="164" height="164" />As of right now, reservations for <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/train-faq/european-trains/artesia/how-to-book.html">Artesia Day train</a> service after December 13th, 2009, are closed. We just received this information from our partners in Europe. As soon as these routes are opened back up, we will be sure to post an update. Reservations for the Artesia Night train are not affected at this time.</p>
<p>The Artesia Day train travels on various routes between France and Italy.  Operating on a high-speed network, the Artesia Day train reduces travel times between popular cities in France and Italy. A ride aboard the Artesia Day train is not one that is easily forgotten! Between the scenery that surrounds you and the pleasant staff on-board, you&#8217;ll almost wish you had more time on the train!</p>
<p>But as with most high-speed trains, the benefit of traveling at high speeds is that you can make the most out of your time in your desired destination.</p>
<p>Taking a trip to France or Italy before December 13th? You might want to look into taking the <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/train-faq/european-trains/artesia/how-to-book.html">Artesia Day train</a> and experience the thrill of high-speed train travel!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Cisalpino brand trains will cease operations as of December 14th, 2009. Services on these routes to be picked up by Trenitalia and SBB]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-742" title="cisalpino-switzerland" src="http://blog.raileurope.com/wp-content/cisalpino-switzeland-164x164.jpg" alt="cisalpino-switzerland" width="164" height="164" />Rail Europe has received word that Cisalpino brand trains will be discontinued as of December 13, 2009. Cisalpino trains operate within Italy and Switzerland, transporting passengers to some Europe&#8217;s most beautiful cities.</p>
<p>Service along Cisalpino routes should not be effected, the routes will be covered by the parent companies, SBB and Trenitalia, without any disruption to passengers. This change in service will go into effect with the winter schedule change. And again, as of December 13, 2009, the Cisalpino brand will no longer exist.</p>
<p>So, you have a limited amount of time to travel aboard a <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/train-faq/european-trains/cisalpino/how-to-book.html" target="_blank">Cisalpino </a>branded train. The trains along this high-speed route actually tilt as they whisk passengers to their destinations. The tilting helps reduce travel times, allowing you to spend more time in <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/europe-travel-guide/switzerland/geneva/index.html" target="_blank">Geneva</a>, <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/europe-travel-guide/switzerland/bern/index.html" target="_blank">Bern</a>, <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/europe-travel-guide/italy/milan/index.html" target="_blank">Milan</a>, <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/europe-travel-guide/italy/florence/index.html" target="_blank">Florence</a> or <a href="http://www.raileurope.com/europe-travel-guide/italy/venice/index.html" target="_blank">Venice</a> (just a few top destinations on Cisalpino routes!).</p>
