The Circumflegrea railway is a commuter railway line that connects Naples city centre with the northern Phlegraean Fields, a suburban area located west of the city.
History
The line was projected in 1946[1] and works started in 1948.
The construction proceeded very slowly, and the first section (from Napoli Montesanto to Soccavo) was not opened until 1962; the railway was extended in 1968 to Marina di Licola; the last part was built but remained abandoned.[2]
The complete railway was opened on 11 January 1986.[3]
Projects
Construction started of a new short branch between Soccavo and Monte Sant′Angelo, but has stopped due to the lack of funds.
Route
Service
Trains run every 20 minutes between Montesanto and Licola; only a few trains continue to the terminus at Torregaveta.[4]
