Circumvesuviana.
On May 29, 2004 line was completed and entered service. Its total length is
about 12 kilometres. It has an initial
frequency of 30 minutes, and a transport capacity of about 4000 passengers in
rush hours
(see
news #1
- in Italian - from
Il Mattino,
and
news #2
- in Italian - from
ASCA).
The line was created by connecting two Circumvesuviana lines by means of a
750-metres-long section between Botteghelle and Madonnelle stations.
The three parts making up the line are:
a) section Bartolo Longo-Madonnelle:
opened on February 12 2001
as a part of San Giorgio-Casalnuovo
Circumvesuviana line;
b) section Napoli-Botteghelle:
ready and in use by Circumvesuviana as a part of the Napoli-Baiano line;
c)section Madonnelle-Botteghelle:
750 meters completed in May 2004 to connect sections a) and b)
(13 billion Lire investment).
A possible extension towards city centre has been planned from Porta Nolana
to Piazza Municipio, thus reaching the harbour.
Extension is endowed with three underground stations:
Pisacane, Porto Salvo and Municipio.
Currently there are no news about actual realization of this extension.
Further planned stations for this line are: Tribunali and Stadera.
Also in this case no news are currently available about their
actual realization.
