@@@@ NOTE: copied from old site with minimal editing @@@@
Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force until 13 December 2008, unless otherwise stated. Several companies publish railway timetables in Italy, but table numbers quoted here are from In Treno, the official Trenitalia book. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.
Obscure services
Rocca d'Evandro-S Vittore - Venafro
[80, 313] (53B2) IT08/131
This line, which opened in 2001, enables trains to run direct between Cassino and Venafro, without having to reverse at Vairano-Caianello. It is used by IR trains between Roma Termini and Campobasso, plus a few local trains to and from Cassino.
Aversa avoiding line: Gricignano-Teverola - S Marcellino-Frignano
[80, 85, 320] (55B3) IT08/132
This west to east curve is used by trains between the Formia and Caserta lines, to avoid reversal at Aversa. It is used particularly by fast trains between Roma and Caserta, because the Formia route is faster than the original main line via Cassino.
