How the circulation of high-speed and regional trains changes after the Rome accident

It will take at least three more days before the Rome-Naples section of Ferrovie dello Stato returns to regular circulation, after the rear carriage of the 9311 high-speed train left the tracks in the Serenissima tunnel in Rome, on the afternoon of Friday 3 June. In the meantime, the railway company has adopted changes to the programming of high-speed and regional trains in Lazio and Campania, to ensure an adequate service.

The accident did not cause any injuries, thanks to the promptness of the driver who is managed to reduce the speed to a minimum, keeping the carriages in an upright position. However, the tail locomotive impacted the tunnel entrance, causing some damage to the infrastructure and leading to the seizure of the track by the state police. On the morning of Monday 6 June, the police ordered the release from seizure, but the section is not yet viable.
