The head of the company behind the journey said 'the Italians began to change their minds' on allowing the train into the country.
The maiden voyage of a night train from Brussels to Venice didn't make it to its final destination yesterday due to issues at the Italian border.
Instead, the train stopped in Innsbruck in Austria, 313km short of its destination, and passengers were moved onto a different train to complete their journey to Venice.
Train operator European Sleeper had called the route a "significant milestone" for the company, saying their "mission is to reconnect Europe’s cities by night, providing travellers with more options for sustainable and comfortable."
