Italy (Campania) - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services

This list is based on the timetable in force from 10 December 2023. Although the timetable is shown as valid until 8 June 2024, most long-distance services are shown as operating only until March. Such trains are not indicated by note 'D' (for a service only running on certain dates), because it is a reasonable expectation that their period of operation will be extended or a similar service is provided instead. It is assumed that the timetable will continue to be updated and reissued regularly, as has been the case since summer 2020. Users are recommended to check the Trenitalia website to ensure they are using the latest version of the timetable.

Table numbers quoted here are from In Treno Tutt'Italia, the official Trenitalia timetable. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 2) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "S+W", or in italic, refer to Atlante ferroviaro d'Italia e Slovenia by Schweers + Wall.

Two useful symbols exist which show the booked route for trains not calling at a station: in the middle of the train column, a vertical bar "|" means that the train passes through the station without stopping, whereas a middle dot "·" means that the train does not pass through that station but instead takes a different route.

Obscure services

Aversa avoiding line: Gricignano-Teverola - S Marcellino-Frignano

[85] (55B3, 150C3-150D3) IT11/131

This west to east curve is used by trains between the Formia and Caserta lines, to avoid reversal at Aversa. It is used by some trains between Roma and Caserta, because the Formia route is faster than the original main line via Cassino. However, Alta Velocita trains between Roma, Bari and Lecce via Caserta use the new high speed line and not this route.

Linea Monte Vesuvio: Napoli Gianturco – Salerno

[86] (52B1 to 54A1 mostly not shown, 153A2-154D2) IT11/132

This line is used by all trains between Napoli and Salerno which are not scheduled to stop intermediately. The southeast end of the line is also used thus:

• Salerno – Bivio S Lucia: All trains between Salerno and Nocera Inferiore not scheduled to stop intermediately.
• Salerno – Bivio Sarno: All trains between Salerno and Sarno.

Madonnelle - Volla (Circumvesuviana)

[508] (55B3 not shown, 153A2) IT11/133

This south to north route allows trains to run between the line to San Giorgio a Cremano via Villa Visconti and the line towards Baiano without reversal.

	SuX	R5005	San Giorgio a Cremano - 16:43 Madonnelle – Pomigliano d’Arco
	SuX	R9006	Pomigliano d’Arco - 17:34 Volla - San Giorgio a Cremano

Although these trains are advertised to and from Acerra, the branch from Pomigliano d’Arco has been out of use since 2008.
