Italy (Toscana) - 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
[1.2, 1.3] (49A2, 50B1) IT13/81
This north to south curve connects the Genova and Livorno lines west of Pisa Centrale. Some trains not advertised to call at Pisa Centrale run via the station. Some Auto al Seguito trains may use this line, as may Deutsche Bahn Autozüge to and from Livorno.
Pisa Centrale - Livorno Centrale (Bivio Mortellini)
[33, M55] (49A2, 50C1-50B2) IT13/82
There are two routes between Pisa Centrale and Bivio Mortellini, which approach opposite ends of Pisa Centrale station. Trains normally use the route that will avoid the need for reversal. Those between Firenze and Livorno use the western route and those between La Spezia and Livorno run via the eastern route. A diveunder is under construction at the east end of Pisa Centrale, so trains taking the eastern route will then use the lower-numbered platforms on the north side of the station, to avoid conflicts with trains to and from Firenze.
Campiglia Marittima avoiding line: San Vincenzo (Campiglia Dev Piazzalone) - Populonia (Campiglia Dev Baratti)
[33, 260] (49A2, 56C3) IT13/83
This north to west curve is used by trains between Livorno and Piombino Marittima, if not calling at Campiglia.
