Eurostar Link is a new service that combines Eurostar trains and quality busses to connect Siena and Ravenna. Both cities have older, slower railway lines, but are also highly requested destinations. Instead of rebuilding the railway line () Trenitalia launched a new service that connects them to either Florence (Siena) and Bologna (Ravenna). The railway ticket combines railway travel to the major city and the bus travel between this city and the final destination of Siena or Ravenna.
How many railway lines deserve improving?! yet, in the past twenty years the policy of FFSS first and Trenitalia now has always been concentrate on developing the already developed lines, and forget about the rest. Mantova is just 100 kilometers from Milano, but it takes almost three hours to get there by train!
If I read the schedule correctly, the service is not very useful for a daytrip between Florence and Siena, as the first trip gets you there in time for lunch.

For a daytrip from Florence to Siena, the Sita (or are they Lazzi?) busses are still a better option. These are high-price busses whose characteristic is that they depart in connection to the arrival of the Eurostar train, they are likely a good option for someone who wants, for isntnace, reach Siena from Venice in the shorthest time possible by train, or for someone who want to reach Bologna in the shortest time possible. Also, I am not sure wether tickets for the busses will be available without an Eurostar reservation.
