Cilento Rail Disruptions Continue

Published: 2024-07-22

Travelers heading to Cilento are facing significant disruptions due to ongoing railway issues.

High summer temperatures have compounded the frustration as delays, cancellations, and service failures plague the region.

The situation worsened after a freight train derailed near Centola on July 9, carrying hazardous materials, leading to a complete halt of services on the Tirrenica line.

Trenitalia has advised passengers to reschedule their trips, as the railway will be split in two until at least Friday.

The mayor of Camerota expressed concern over the impact on tourism, calling it a severe blow to the local economy.

With only one Intercity train operating daily to and from Sicily next week, the travel experience is expected to be challenging for many.
