This one takes you through Chiasso.
Porto Garibaldi station is a short walk from the central train station.

Station/Stop          
Milano Porta Garibaldi     dep   15:38
Chiasso    arr   16:43   - time matches the station time in the video screencap
Chiasso    dep   17:03
Giubiasco    arr   17:57
Giubiasco    dep   18:04
Locarno    arr   18:27

walkingpneumonia, you are the champion of the day for your Chiasso work. However, what makes you think that any team would take public transportation into the center of Milan so they can they take a train from there. Why wouldn't a team interested in getting ahead go directly by bus from Malpensa Airport to Bellinzona? It's a lot quicker.

But Preston/Jennifer didn't do that, no?

I guess that teams that do not find the most efficient tranportation routes can be the ones that get eliminated the earliest.

Chateau d If:
This shot was taken between 7:38 and 7:52 am (assumes November 2nd).
