Thanks Sancho, we've done a couple of those journeys by chance and would now love to try more.

A bit further south in Umbria the little trains have often had their windows completely painted over by delinquents and football hooligans.

Unless you stand at the door with your head out of the window you wouldn't know whether you were passing the Crete Senesi or a distended marrow patch.

Sometimes these little stations don't even display their name that all makes the journey more fun.
