Bologna Travel Itinerary
One option is to start in the Netherlands and take the OBB night train through Germany and Austria ans then taking the 3 hour 30 Railjet connection to Verona. From Verona you can chose one of the Italian trains that connect to Bologna.
Another option is not yet available all year round (hopefully this will change one day). This is the quickest way to get from the London to Bologna! Take the Eurostar from London to Brussels followed by the night train to Verona and a quick connection to Bologna. The Brussels night train is run by the European Sleeper and at the moment only runs for a few dates around the Carnevale celebrations.
