==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]].

===Savona - S Giuseppe di Cairo===
Most trains from Savona to S Giuseppe di Cairo are scheduled to run via Ferrania. A separate line via Altare is used by most southbound trains except those advertised to call at Ferrania. Few northbound services run via Altare. These arrangements may vary in practice. Exceptions to the general rule are:

There are two railways between Genova and Arquata Scrivia, the original line to the east and a newer fast line, largely in tunnels, to the west. There are connections between the two at Ronco Scrivia. The only other intermediate station on the fast line is Mignanego. All trains non-stop between Genova Piazza Principe and Arquata Scrivia, or stopping only at Ronco Scrivia or Mignanego, normally use the fast line. All are currently scheduled to use the old line between Ronco Scrivia and Arquata Scrivia.
 
The following trains run non-stop between Ronco Scrivia and Genova Piazza Principe via the old line:

In addition to the main lines between Genova Brignole and Genova Sampierdarena, there are separate tracks at lower level via the former Genova Marittima S Limbania station. The low level lines are used by trains booked to use the ''sotterranea'' (underground) platforms 1 and 2 at Genova Piazza Principe and to pass through or call at Genova Via di Francia station. There are usually two or three trains each way hourly.

There are two different routes between Riomaggiore and La Spezia Centrale, both being reversibly-signalled single tracks. Trains generally observe left-hand running, as is usual in Italy. Accordingly, southbound trains normally use the inland route via the longer tunnel, whereas northbound trains run through the shorter tunnel and then follow the coast.

Revision as of 12:43, 28 January 2011

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

Savona - S Giuseppe di Cairo

[110, 144] (46A1, 44B2-44C2) IT11/61

Most trains from Savona to S Giuseppe di Cairo are scheduled to run via Ferrania. A separate line via Altare is used by most southbound trains except those advertised to call at Ferrania. Few northbound services run via Altare. These arrangements may vary in practice. Exceptions to the general rule are:

  • Southbound non-stop via Ferrania:
D SuO RV1739 Torino Porta Nuova – 07:02 Savigliano – Albenga
D SuO RV1719 Torino Porta Nuova – 08:01 Fossano - Imperia
E SuO R20123 Torino Porta Nuova - 10:24 S Giuseppe di Cairo – Savona
  • Northbound via Altare:
SuX R10176 5:48 Savona - Torino Porta Nuova
SuO R20152 6:28 Savona - Torino Porta Nuova
SuX R10180 6:26 Savona - Torino Porta Nuova
E SuO IR1744 Albenga - 17:13 Savona - Torino Porta Nuova

Arquata Scriva - Ronco Scrivia - Genova Piazza Principe

[26, 30] (46A2, 32D4-45A2) IT11/62

There are two railways between Genova and Arquata Scrivia, the original line to the east and a newer fast line, largely in tunnels, to the west. There are connections between the two at Ronco Scrivia. The only other intermediate station on the fast line is Mignanego. All trains non-stop between Genova Piazza Principe and Arquata Scrivia, or stopping only at Ronco Scrivia or Mignanego, normally use the fast line. All are currently scheduled to use the old line between Ronco Scrivia and Arquata Scrivia.

The following trains run non-stop between Ronco Scrivia and Genova Piazza Principe via the old line:

RV2175 Torino Porta Nuova – 00:18 Ronco Scrivia – Genova Brignole
SuX R11207 Alessandria – 07:29 Ronco Scrivia – Genova Brignole
D E1671 Torino Porta Nuova – 00:51 Alessandria – Salerno

Genova Bolzaneto (Bivio Rivarolo) – Genova Piazza Principe (Bivio Bersaglio)

[26, 30] (46B2, 143A2-143A3) IT11/63

This spur connects the old and the fast lines to the north of Genova. It allows trains approaching on the old line to arrive at Piazze Principe via the fast line tunnel.

IC519 Torino Porta Nuova – 19:15 Novi Ligure – Genova Brignole

Mignanego (Doppio Bivio Fegino) - Genova Sampierdarena (Bivio Polcevera)

[30] (46B2, 143A2) IT11/64

There are two routes into Genova from the fast line via Mignanego. Most trains run direct through a tunnel, but the following use this spur onto the line from Ovada and run via Genova Sampierdarena. It is used by trains via route IT11/65 and by:

SSuX R11205 Alessandria - 06:56 Mignanego - Genova Brignole
R2043 Torino Porta Nuova - 07:22 Mignanego – Livorno
R2159 Torino Porta Nuova – 09:18 Ronco Scrivia – Genova Piazza Principe
R11209 Alessandria - 16:30 Ronco Scrivia - Genova Piazza Principe
SuO E1668 Salerno - 04:35 MO Genova Piazza Principe - Torino Porta Nuova
R2158 Genova Brignole – 05:46 Genova Sampierdarena - Torino Porta Nuova
D R11204 Genova Brignole – 18:42 Genova Sampierdarena – Alessandria

Mignanego (Quadrivio Torbella) - Genova Cornigliano (Bivio Cornigliano)

[25, 26] (46B2, 143A3) IT11/65

This route comprises a line through Genova Sampierdarena Smistamento and a north to west curve avoiding Genova Sampierdarena passenger station. It is used by trains between Arquata Scrivia and Savona, if not booked to call at Genova Piazza Principe.

E SSuO IR1787 Bergamo - 08:39 Tortona – Ventimiglia
E SSuO IR1789 Ventimiglia - 20:58 Genova Sestri Ponente – Bergamo

Genova Brignole (Bivio Traversata) - Genova Sampierdarena

[M45] (46B2, 143A3-143C4) IT11/66

In addition to the main lines between Genova Brignole and Genova Sampierdarena, there are separate tracks at lower level via the former Genova Marittima S Limbania station. The low level lines are used by trains booked to use the sotterranea (underground) platforms 1 and 2 at Genova Piazza Principe and to pass through or call at Genova Via di Francia station. There are usually two or three trains each way hourly.

Casella Deposito (Ferrovia Genova Casella)

[420] (46B2, 45A1) IT11/67

Trains to and from Casella Paese mostly reverse at the junction points at Casella Deposito. Those attaching or detaching carriages may run into the depot.

Riomaggiore - La Spezia Centrale

[31] (46B1, 46A4) IT11/68

There are two different routes between Riomaggiore and La Spezia Centrale, both being reversibly-signalled single tracks. Trains generally observe left-hand running, as is usual in Italy. Accordingly, southbound trains normally use the inland route via the longer tunnel, whereas northbound trains run through the shorter tunnel and then follow the coast.
