In the background, apart from the huge national flag, is the tower of the church that gives the station its name, the church of Santa Maria Novella. Unfortunately, its full beauty is covered by a shroud of scaffolding. Keywords: 464.687 16.10 Florence SMN-Pistoia 3072 Florence SMN station
464.678, unidentified working, Florence SMN station 464.678 brings an unidentified working into Florence SMN station.

464.379, unidentified working, Florence SMN station 464.379 waits to propel its next train out of Florence SNM station. Unfortunately, I could not identify this one but as it was at platform one I suspect it was going east towards Pisa. Keywords: 464.379, unidentified working, Florence SMN station

To the left is 500.002 about to leave with train 9569, the 13.20 Turin Porta Nuova to Salerno. Next to the ETR 500 at platform 14 is 464.447 about to leave with the 16.22 local stopper to Arezzo.

575.006, 13.25-Turin PN-Salerno (9925), Florence SMN station Nuovo Trasporto Viaggiatori (NTV) is an open access operator that runs a small fleet of these impressive looking ETR class 575s. Here at Florence SMN the 13.25 Turin PN to Salerno waits to leave. Interestingly, it will be following a duplicate service operated by Trenitalia that left just five minutes ahead of it. Maybe the 'Smart Cinema' on these 575s will be the decider for prospective passengers? Keywords: 575.006 13.25 Turin PN-Salerno 9925 Florence SMN station
