Where Can I Get Good Information On Traveling Through Sicily?

I was looking to travel through Sicily between the cities below. I had trouble finding a user-friendly site with good information about bus routes. I am open to using the train as well.
Erice to Marsala
Marsala to Catania
Catania to Palmero (might be easier to train this one)

    Erice to Marsala – you’ll have to transit via Trapani. There you’ll find bus service. Personally I think Trapani sucks and so I wouldn’t spend any time there except to catch your bus.
    Marsala to Catania: There is no direct train and here you’ll have to transit via Palermo.
    Catania to Palmero: train (or bus)
    there aren’t any good web sites in English for bus service in Sicily. To tell you the tbrust it is evenm difficult to find reliable information in Italian. Your best bet is to get your info while on location.
    Don’t forget to drink and eat in Marsala.. and do visit the “salinas” – where they harvest the salt.

    This is the italian train site and it may help it’s in english so you will b able to understand:http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/cms/v/i…
    I noticed that from Erice there is no train. You would have to leave from Trapani, but there are buses available from Erici to Trapani. (i couldn’t seem to get an online timetable though!)
