Main article: Naples metropolitan railway service

The Circumflegrea railway (sometimes also known as Line 5[1]) is a commuter railway line that connects Naples city centre with the northern Phlegraean Fields, a suburban area located west of the city. The line is operated by the Ente Autonomo Volturno (EAV) company.

History

The line was projected in 1946[2] 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.[3]

The complete railway was opened on 11 January 1986.[4]

Projects

Construction started of a new short branch between Soccavo and Monte Sant′Angelo, but has stopped due to the lack of funds.

Service

Trains run every 20 minutes between Montesanto and Licola; only a few trains continue to the terminus at Torregaveta.[5]

According to a timetable posted in paper format at the station of Licola, all trains now (2018/11) end there.
